| '''Aquatic''' is the secret language used by [[SeaWings]] to communicate in the [[Deep Palace of the Sea|Deep Palace]] (or anywhere underwater) where they can't communicate clearly without going to the surface to talk. Instead of spoken words, Aquatic uses a [[File:AquaticSeaWing.gif|thumb|174px|by Heron the Mudwing]]series of talon gestures and the flashing of the bioluminescent stripes along the [[Dragons|dragon]]'s body (similar to sign language). Because only SeaWings possess these stripes, the language is not spoken by dragons from any other tribe. [[Princess Tsunami|Tsunami]] is a rare case of a SeaWing who does not understand Aquatic very well at all, courtesy of being raised in a cave by the [[Talons of Peace]]. [[Webs]] didn't teach Tsunami Aquatic, possibly because he didn't think she would escape with the other [[The Dragonets of Destiny|dragonets]]. [[Riptide]] and [[Princess Anemone|Anemone]] taught her some Aquatic when she came to the [[The Kingdom of the Sea|Sea Kingdom]]. The way [[Whirlpool]] taught Aquatic to Tsunami was by having her copy Whirlpool by lighting up her bioluminescent stripes. The way Riptide taught Tsunami was by showing her simple words and phrases and having her copy them.

| In [[Talons of Power|''Talons of Power'']], a story was also mentioned of a dragonet who had been raised by orcas and didn't know Aquatic.

| Aquatic may be easier to understand if we apply visual Morse Code to what we know now. Perhaps we can reveal how some things are said in Aquatic. As always, this might open up some more questions about the secret language, but hey, what's science without a little mystery to it?

| An example of how Morse Code can possibly be applied to Aquatic:[[File:Omg_i_need_a_name.png|thumb|140px|mmm]]
| |
| Another example of the 6w's and how may be displayed in aquatic. Note that there could be a few rules we would lay down to get a basic understanding of how Seawings use the language.[[File:More20aquatic-1.gif|thumb|300px]]
