The Old Tongue is the language spoken by the First Men, the humans who first came to the continent of Westeros. Before the Andal invasion of Westeros and the coming of the Andal language, it was the dominant language of the continent, but is now rarely spoken in most of it. However, a form of the language is still spoken by wildlings north of the Wall. It is also the ancestor of the Mag Nuk language spoken by giants.
