Pantalan was the original language spoken by the residents on the continent of Pantala. It appears to be based on Latin in some aspects (such as "Luna", meaning "moon" for Pantala's residents), as well as most words being based off of plant parts. The language is not used much in present Pantala. Clearsight taught the Pantala dragons how to speak Dragon. They might use the language for naming, such as Luna's name is "moon" in Pantalan.
