| | |
| '''Dragon''''', ''or''''' ''Dragonspeak''', is the language spoken by [[Pyrrhia]]n [[Dragons|dragons]], and later by [[Pantala]]ns as well. It was formally named in [[The Lost Continent (Book)|''The Lost Continent'']].
| |
| | |
| There is an old language as well, but the name of the old language is unknown. In ''The Lost Continent ''prologue, when [[Clearsight]] arrives, it is stated that the Pantalan dragons speak the old language and only a few Pantalan dragons speak the "Dragon' language. As [[Luna]] and [[Jerboa II|Jerboa]] could understand each other in the epilogue of ''The Lost Continent'', it is proven that Pantalans now use Dragon to speak. Some dragons may still know the old language, but choose to use the present one.
| |
| | |
| It was referred to as the ‘old language‘ in the prologue of ''The Lost Continent'' when Clearsight arrived on Pantala.
| |
| | |
| In the Prologue of ''[[The Hive Queen]]'', Luna states that her name means 'Moon' in the old Pantalan language. As Luna means moon in Latin, this could imply at least some parts of the old language were Latin.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *[[Wren]] is the only scavenger known to speak Dragon, which she uses to communicate with [[Sky]]. She later teaches [[Rose]] how to speak Dragon.
| |
| *The written language of Dragon has the appearance of a bunch of fire, claw, and moon symbols, according to Wren.
| |
| *Dragon may have some similarities to languages that vary meaning based on inflection, such as Mandarin. Speech such as "roarble roarble" can mean either "Where's the rest?" "The rest of the treasure?" or "All right. Hold on tight".
