Draconic

Dragons mostly communicate by telepathy, but they evolved Draconic to be able to communicate with others. Learning to read, write, or speak Draconic is no easy task. Humanoid mouth parts are not similar to a dragon's, so pronunciation might be a bit difficult. The writing system seems to be made up of distinct marks made by claws etching into stone.   
This text was found in an ancient red dragon's cave.

Phonology

Sounds are mostly created by hissing sounds or deep/guttural noises. Speaking Draconic is not easy.

Morphology

The writing system is made up of straight and curved segments made with claws. It originated from dragons etching marks into the stone walls of the caves they dwelled in. It is believed that their writing system follows an alphabet.

Syntax

Syntax and grammar are difficult to interpret in Draconic. It is thought that the most important parts of the sentence are placed first.

Vocabulary

The vocabulary of dragons is vast and complex, with Draconic containing words that are untranslatable to English and Latin .
