Game of Thrones from television most used on the Internet. In 2012, the media used "Game of Thrones" as a figure of speech or comparison for situations of intense conflict and deceit, such as the 2012 United States Supreme Court decision regarding healthcare reform legislation, the Syrian Civil War and the ousting of Bo Xilai from the Chinese government. "Khaleesi" has increased in popularity as a name for baby girls in the United States. In the novels and the TV series, "khaleesi" is the title of the wife of a khal (warlord) in the Dothraki language held by Daenerys Targaryen, and not actually
Dothraki language peoples (e.g. the Lhazareen). If there were to be any written examples of Dothraki in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" universe, it would be in a writing system developed in the Free Cities and adapted to Dothraki, or in some place like Ghis or Qarth, which do have writing systems. There are twenty-three consonant phonemes in the Dothraki language. Here the romanized form is given on the left, and the IPA in brackets. The letters "c" and "x" never appear in Dothraki, although "c" appears in the digraph "ch". "b" and "p" seem to appear only in names,
