Draconic

Spoken by

Dragons

Wyverns













The Draconic script as seen in Draconomicon: Chromatic Dragons


Draconic is the language of dragons.


It uses its own distinct alphabet. Other native speakers include members of draconic and reptilian races, such as kobolds and wyverns.



The language is also used as a primary means of arcane notation throughout Toril.^[1]

Alphabet and punctuation




Draconic is one of the earliest languages, influencing or creating the language of kobolds, lizardfolk, and troglodytes. The script is believed to have been influenced by the Dwarven runes, but Dragons themselves are unwilling to admit this connection. Draconic script is also used to write the elemental languages of Auran and Ignan. Punctuation is the same as English, with the exception of a special character consisting of six lines radiating outwards, similar to a fireburst (*). When this character is written, the word is spoken with both the first and last syllable stressed. Dragons often use this when referring to themselves, for example, the dragon Karajix would be written *Karajix* and pronounced "KA-raj-IX".^[1]

Basic grammar

Draconic is a language of hard consonants and sibilants that usually sounds like hissing when spoken. It inculdes sounds that sound very snake-like to humans, including: sj, ss, and sv. It also includes a sound similar to a creature clearing its throat, like the German "ach". Words which modify other words can be placed before, or after, the words they modify. However the most important word is always placed before, and sometimes, for added emphasis, might be added after as well. A dragon that wanted to say a big, black, evil dragon was coming near, but wanted to emphasise might say: Malsvir darastrix turalisj vutha gethrisj leirith [evil dragon big black go near]
Or Malsvir darastrix turalisj vutha malsvir gethrisj leirith [evil dragon big black evil go near]


Generally, the Draconic sentence follows the order of Subject Verb Object, though the Subject may be omitted if it is understood or part of a command. Also, if a sentence is a command, and written, is will often include the previously mentioned "fireburst" symbol (*). Draconic has no word for "my" or "mine", but uses a series of prefixes, depending on the exact meaning. An object that is claimed a dragon speaker would begin with "veth" or "vethi", a being with a relationship to the speaker, such as friend or relative, begins with "er" or "erthe", and all other forms of the possesive begin with "ar" or "ari". For example, for a dragon to say "my sword", or "the sword is mine", he only needs to say "vethicaex". Or, to say "my enemy", he would say "arirlim". To indicate possession by another, the name of the possessor is combined with the object into a single word and prefaced with "ar" or "ari". For example, to say "my enemy's sword" he would say "arirlimcaex".^[1]

Other notesraconic is one of the oldest languages, according to the Dragons, second only to the language of the "outsiders". Also, it is speculated that the reason so many reptilian races spoke a form of Draconic was not because they were related physically to dragons, but because at some point early in their history the dragons had enslaved them. There are dialects of Draconic for each of the various species of dragon, but the differences are very small and can often only be heard by dragons themselves. So, someone who learns Draconic from a red dragon will be able to communicate with a blue or gold dragon. Draconic itself has not changed in hundreds of years.^[1]

I got my love light and healing first    I got a hoard of cats!! 

See that goofy look? That is what I look like every time I wake to a hoard of cats, lazily sprawled all over me and my bed. 

My sis, complaining about men, as we all do sooner or later, came out the oldie but goodie "can't live with them, can't live without them" to which I replied, from the heart, "sure you can live without them sis, it's just a matter of how many cats!" 

 



Motto:


Do not be afraid
Rituals are followed
And not forgotten
Gathering all that is good
Overruling injustice and adversity
Nothing but righteousness and mercy in mind
So be it

Welcome to FRISKY FRIDAY !!!   

OMG! I HAVE LOST ANOTHER DAY!


Got up today, wondered why the heck is DGD getting dressed & way odd not sleeping in, I know its Saturday...I asked "Why u b getting dressed?'...Its Friday Grams! ... Now this happened last Friday also, I chalked it up to CRS moment   I truly believe that since I have not slept a good 6 hrs any night for two weeks this has taken it toil...I used to be a 'nite owl'   years ago when I was first time member of a certain 'flushed fish' game site...STAY up all night gaming...that's not happening since its five yrs now, no quality games being offered (although I have mega games not played) I just can't seem to get into HOG type?

Not sure where the hell I am going with this but its getting my old   soul to an irritated level...I should consider skipped a day & get on with it...lost sleep sucks!

Still need to catch up on emails but the WiFi has been going wonky, Internet drifts out of site...maybe due to the triple digit temperatures has it effect on more than the old 'cloud' can handle...I have been on a 'hug fest' with the A/C...our summer here started a week before the solstice June 21, and has gone bonkers!...Had to A/C on 'BLAST' or the setting my income can afford, was sit on sofa sweating a wee bit...the wildfire which is raging about a 2 hrs drive from here has the air quality on 'bad' so that is an added 'crap day' for me...O.K. off the 'pity party of one'

So U'ALL ...   




Will get back as soon as I can...
