I Made a Dragon Language!

[humanteneleven]

Inspired by @etymologynerd and his conlangs!

Edit: people are asking for me to share the resources behind this; I promise I will! I just wanna finish the language first

Dragon here. This is a fantastic idea.

[maxencedworaczek]

Be careful, that's how you end up writing an epic fantasy series...

[yehwat]

"...but they're dragons! Who cares?"

[moonrisestudiosco]

What's super interesting is how the dramatic temperature changes may even alter the expression of different vocalizations. Very interesting!

[Zooz]

This should be the official language of Ironland

[muhammadghanyarrafif]

He learned new thu'um, now you should become dragonborn, dovakin

[myheartwillstopinjoy]

That's a level of nerdiness I genuinely respect and adore

[Amblins]

Ok so 2500-4000 years from now, I can study it on Duolingo

[jelly_masked_wolfo]

As someone who is absolutely obsessed with dragons. This is absolutely the awesomest thing I would lay down my life if it meant more of this sorta stuff

[hihungryimcam]

I was losing my mind already and then heard "Proto-Draconic" grind is insane lol. I love this shit.

[concerninghobbits]

I wish more movies and games and stuff, media with animation and editing that can create "impossible" stuff, would find people like this and use it for incredibly grounded and detailed fantasy projects. I know that like someone did make up a language for the dragons in Skyrim, and similar things have been done for other situations, but I think there they kept it pretty barebones and just came up with it. Seeing you consider dragon phonology and coming up with that many grammar functions is so cool. With Tolkien being the best example I know of a conlang being brought to life in film and beyond, elvish is still just a normal pronounceable language. Something like this with sounds humans can't distinguish or create would be a whole new level.

[mr.strawberry]

Mad respect for not just making a language, but deriving a whole language family from it

[brou-cytc]

Im so cooked. When you first said dragon i immediately blurted out dragon these nuts without a thought 😭
