Draconic Dictionary

 Hello!

This is something I’ve been working on for a while. Dug up a piece of notebook paper with some old language notes for the Dragonborn clans. Hoping to adapt some of it for the Duhwin and Oinin speak :D

This definitely isn’t the finalized version, but it’s a start! The language is mostly made up of single syllable nouns that are strung together to make names and sentences. The idea of the Hehn might make it so that sentences are chanted almost like mantras. Have to figure that out, but it should be fun!

For every name or word that is divided by an apostrophe, the breath changes from exhalation to inhalation and vice versa. For instance, the name “Malik’al” in Oinin would be (exhale, normal) “Malik” and (inhale) “al” . Another example is Ka’gara, the true name for the Oinos, Phures. Her name is pronounced (exhale) “Ka” and (exhale) “Gara”. (These rule sets might change in the future, I want to test them out with other names and sounds.)
