  • The Old Tongue is a now-dead language, once common parlance in the Age of Legends, but now spoken only by scholars and certain nobles, and not perfectly by either of those. Its structure and meaning are shaded so that a single phrase can have many different meanings, depending on context. Modern dialects have evolved from the Old Tongue (some might say, 'degenerated'), such that a farmer who hears a word of the Old Tongue will think that it sounds familiar, and such that any native speaker of the Old Tongue can decipher the New.

  • The Old Tongue is the language spoken during the Age of Legends. In the Third Age, most know only a few words, with the educated knowing more. Words and phrases in the Old Tongue: * Aes Sedai--"servant of all" * Aiel--"dedicated" * Aldieb--"west wind" * Chalinda--"sweet girl" * Mandarb--"blade" * Manetheren--"mountain home" * Manetherendrelle--"waters of the mountain home" * Sene sovya caba'donde ain dovienya--"Luck is a horse to ride like any other." * Serenla--"stubborn daughter"
  • The "old tongue" was a language whose written form consisted of glyphs. Inscriptions in that language were engraved on the base of the Sith temple on Malachor, and on the interior walls of the Jedi Temple on Lothal.
  • The Old Tongue is a fictional language in Melanie Rawn's fantasy novels of the Dragon Prince and Dragon Star trilogies. The Old Tongue is the language which was spoken in ancient times when the diarmadh'im ruled. Certain peoples still speak the language, such as the Desert Tribes and the mountainous people of Firon. Many of the terms or titles are still in use or resemble modern words. A glossary of terms in the Old Tongue can be found on Melanie Rawn's official website here
  • The Old Tongue was first brought to Westeros by The First Men. It is spoken by many people in the Known world, although is extinct in Westeros, it's still spoken beyond the wall by The Wildlings and what is left of the Giants.
  • The Old Tongue is the ancient, rune-based language spoken in Westeros by the First Men. The Old Tongue was gradually supplanted by the language and alphabet of the Andals, now known as the "Common Tongue" of Westeros.

  • The Old Tongue is the ancient, rune-based language spoken in Westeros by the First Men. The Old Tongue was gradually supplanted by the language and alphabet of the Andals, now known as the "Common Tongue" of Westeros. In the present day, however, the Old Tongue is still used by some of the wildlings in the far reaches of the lands beyond the Wall. The Thenn people, for example, still speak the Old Tongue. The non-human race of Giants live in the farthest northern reaches of the lands beyond the Wall and therefore had no contact with Andal peoples to the south, thus the giants speak only a rudimentary version of the Old Tongue known as "Mag Nuk", the Great Tongue. However, Tormund thinks that they've picked up a better understanding of words and phrases from the Common Tongue than they let on.
