    Verbs, tenses, conjugations, syntax, pronouns, etc. It takes more than translating sentences and words to make a language

      Your comment makes no sense whatsoever in this context, as High Valyrian, as used in the show, has all those things that you enumerated, and more.

        Only in the context that whatever is being spoken was “translated”. Not that they’re actually any rules or an entire vocabulary or just pretty much anything that a language has to have to be a language. It’s very convincing and that it might be a language to the lay person like you or me who gets fooled into thinking that it is a language, but the actual linguists and people who study language and such, it’s most definitely not a language.
