Trigedasleng Translator
Post-apocalyptic phrases, clan-style names, and Grounder-inspired wording take on a rugged survival tone with the Trigedasleng Translator for dialogue and fan writing.
What Is a Trigedasleng Translator?
Trigedasleng is the constructed language spoken by the Grounders in The 100, developed by linguist David J. Peterson for the CW series. The English to Trigedasleng direction helps you move from plain English into Grounder speech, while reverse mode brings the phrase back again.
Peterson built the language around the idea that English changed over 97 years of post-nuclear isolation, so many words still feel familiar even when the sound and structure shift. It is one of the most grounded fictional TV languages and still one of the easiest for fans to recognize by ear.
Use it for show phrases, names, and short dialogue from the world of The 100. For another Peterson-built language, the Dothraki Translator covers the warrior speech from Game of Thrones.

| I love my people | Ai hod ai kru in |
| Blood must have blood now | Jus drein jus daun nou |
| The Sky People are here | Skaikru ste hir |
