Dragonlanguage

Dragonlanguage is a fictional constructed language created by the author Tui T. Sutherland for the popular young adult book series Wings of Fire. It is spoken by the dragon tribes of Pyrrhia and is depicted as a complex and ancient language. The language features a unique alphabet and grammar system, though specific details are often revealed through context within the novels rather than explicit linguistic exposition.

The written form of dragonlanguage consists of a distinct set of symbols, each representing a sound or concept. These symbols are often described as being carved or etched into surfaces. The spoken form of the language is portrayed as having a variety of intonations and guttural sounds that reflect the nature of the dragons themselves. Different dragon tribes have subtle variations in their dialect, adding to the richness of the world-building.

While not fully developed into a complete, learnable language in the same way as Klingon or Elvish, dragonlanguage serves as a significant element in the Wings of Fire series. It contributes to the immersive quality of the narrative, allowing readers to feel more connected to the dragon characters and their culture. The language is used for important pronouncements, spells, and inscriptions, playing a role in the plot and the history of Pyrrhia. Its presence enhances the fantasy aspect of the series and provides a unique linguistic identity for its dragon inhabitants.
