Dgraph has its own custom query language based on GraphQL, called GraphQL+-. You can learn about the basics of GraphQL+- in our latest screencast that introduces you to writing queries in it, which can be found right below. The screencast will explore the content in the [interactive tour it compliments](https://tour.dgraph.io/basic/1/), but in further depth. You can also [subscribe to our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCghE41LR8nkKFlR3IFTRO4w?sub_confirmation=1) if you would like to be posted when we release new videos.

The screencast will cover topics such as:

- Querying data
- Basic schema
- Multilingual support
- Functions and filtering
- Logical operators
- Sorting
- Directives like `@cascade` and `@normalize`
