Lannish

Lannish is a term used in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin, which serves as the basis for the HBO series "Game of Thrones." The term refers to the language spoken by the Lannisters, a prominent noble house in the fictional world of Westeros. Lannish is notable for its use of the word "hear me roar," which has become a catchphrase associated with House Lannister. The language itself is not extensively detailed in the series, but it is implied to be a form of High Valyrian, the ancient language of the First Men, with some influence from the common tongues of Westeros.

The Lannisters, who are known for their wealth, political acumen, and military prowess, have a strong presence in the political landscape of Westeros. Their influence is often seen through the lens of Lannish, which is used to convey their strategic thinking and cunning. The language is also associated with the Lannister sigil, a golden lion on a crimson field, which is a recurring motif in the series.

In the context of the story, Lannish is used to highlight the Lannisters' manipulative and often ruthless nature. The language serves as a tool to underscore their dominance and the challenges they pose to other noble houses and the realm as a whole. Despite its association with a powerful and influential house, Lannish remains a relatively minor element in the broader narrative of "A Song of Ice and Fire," serving primarily to reinforce the Lannisters' character and motivations.
