On NPR they were talking to this guy who specializes in created languages, who does all the languages for like Game of Thrones, Penny Dreadful, and a bunch of sci-fi and fantasy movies.

I applauded when the interviewer asked the guy if he ever considered using obscure native languages because “It’s not like anybody would notice,” and he scoffed like “Are you asking me if I’m gonna take someone’s cultural heritage and ascribe it to aliens or demons or elves? Because the answer is no.”
