About Proto-Draconic
One of the languages of Adhlan, my paracosm. It was the language of dragons before <The Order> was founded.
Dragons "speak" primarely with a form of telepathy called "pure concept". In pure concept communication is free of any medium and pure concepts can be shared without misunderstanding. Because of this powerful method of communication dragons have not developed a complex vocal apparatus and lack the mental coordination necessary for complex language, so their language lacks certain sounds such as bilabial and labiodental consonants, which they can't pronounce because they have a sort of hard lip/beak and not soft lips.
