Pantalan (language)
From Wings of Fire Fandom Mirror
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.

History
In the prologue of The Lost Continent, Clearsight met Sunstreak and a male LeafWing. The LeafWing spoke in the Old Language. In The Hive Queen, Luna mentioned to Moon that her name means "moon" in the Old Language, but is now a type of moth. Later in the book, Lady Scarab mentioned the Old Language while telling Cricket the history of her tribe and her family.
Trivia
- This is the third language in the books, the first being Dragon and the second being Aquatic.
- It appears to be based on Latin or Italian in some respects because Luna also means Moon in both Italian and Latin.
- When dragons spoke The Old Language on Pantala, the language "Dragon" was said to be spoken "very little" and to be "much old" by Sunstreak.
