 '''Drakine''' (natively ''Drákirou'' /drækiroʊ/, ''Dragon Voice'') is a language spoken as the native tongue of all [[Euthoran]] [[Dragon (Euthora)|dragons]] and is a descendant of early [[Acaranian (Language)|Acaranian]]. While it can be taught to and understood by humans and other beings, its harsh sounds are suited to a dragon's capabilities. As such, some words are often unpronounceable by non-dragons. '''Archaic Drakine''' is the earliest form of Drakine, no longer in use, and is far more similar to Acaranian than '''modern Drakine''' is.
-Native speakers of Drakine (primarily dragons) have a noticeable, sibilant and growling accent and may be difficult to understand in languages they are not used to speaking. Due to the rarity of contractions in the language, the lack of difference between object and subject pronouns, and the fact that minor words such as "of" are often optional, it is common for dragons speaking in other languages (particularly English) to have strange or broken grammar. This also leads to dragons taking a somewhat formal tone.

 Drakine's vocabulary works with a "root phoneme" system, in which sounds are assigned connotations and merged together to create words. In most cases the roots themselves are not words, though there are exceptions.

 ==General Information==
-Drakine consists of twenty-three consonants, eight vowels, five diphthongs, two miscellaneous sounds, and six variants of other letters. The language is characterized by heavy use of vowels and sibilants in many words, as well as a distinct growling or hissing accent due to the structure of a dragon's mouth. Its vocabulary works with a "root sound" system, in which certain sounds have certain connotations and may be put together to make words.
+Drakine consists of twenty-five consonants, eight vowels and five diphthongs. The language is characterized by heavy use of vowels and sibilants in many words and the dragons' "hissing" accent (due to the structure of a dragon's mouth). Its vocabulary works with a "root" system: designated "base words" or "roots" when combined give rise to words with other meanings.
 ===Language History===
-The first instance of archaic Drakine can be pinpointed to the first few generations of dragons after that of [[Skyking Shyr]]'s offspring. As Shyr himself was raised speaking early Acaranian, he taught the language to his offspring, and natural corruption of the language occurred due to inability to properly articulate certain words, or even simply because it was easier to use some sounds than others. At some point during the mid-Radiant Era, written Drakine was finalized in cooperation between [[Skyking Ausurath]], [[Skyqueen Sahiri]], and a handful of scholarly humans. This created a more formalized way of spelling most words; previously, humans had written Drakine according to Acaranian orthography, but the presence and absence of certain sounds made this impractical.
+The earliest known form of Drakine can be placed in the era following the birth of [[Skyking Shyr]]'s offspring. As Shyr himself was raised speaking early Acaranian, he passed on the tongue to his descendants. Naturally, the language accumulated variations and corruptions as it was spread and passed down generation to generation. At some point during the mid-Radiant Era, [[Skyking Ausurath]], [[Skyqueen Sahiri]], and a handful of scholarly humans developed and finalised a written form of Drakine. This formalized the spellings of most words; previously, humans worte in Drakine using the Acaranian script, which was difficult—sounds present in Drakine were absent in Acaranian, and vice-versa.
