About Draconic
Speakers
Draconic is spoken by dragons and dragon half-bloods(often called dragonborns).
Script
Draconic has a dedicated script. It is a logography and is transcribed into the Cyrillic script(known as simple Draconic or human's Draconic) for the ease of learning. They do not use the Latin script(know as the human script, but is known as межкэцг пов ѯәх in Dragonic, literally meaning script of the dumb) due their beliefs of humans as worthlessly stupid and barbaric.
Interaction
Draconic is a rare language only learned by human scholars, leaders of the Elvan military, and members of the dragon race. Due to this, it has a hard time changing or being changed by surrounding languages. Dragons have become endangered and dragonborns are often outcasted by all but the remaining dragons. This outcasting forces them to move or be killed by the other locals that inhabit their home town. Dragonborns often live near extreme cold or heat depending upon which clan of dragons they belong to. Due to this, if they do move, it becomes hard to find food and water; moreover, towns are separated over vast distances in the areas in which they live. If they stumble upon another town, they often play the same song and dance.
