Draconic language

The Draconic language is the language of the Dragons. It is spoken by overwhelmingly Dragons.

Consonants

 * The consonant is an allophone of  before
 * The consonant is an allophone of  before
 * The voiced counterpart of is, because  does not exist.
 * In consonant clusters, light consonants can only be followed by other light consonants, dark consonants can only be followed by other dark consonants, neutral consonants can only be followed by other neutral consonants. The only exception to this is, which can appear before any dorsal consonant (although it is assimilated to it, as stated previously).
 * Labial consonants of any kind only exist in loanwords.

Vowels
The Draconic language is unique in that it has a vertical vowel system, in which only three vowels are phonemically distinguished: (at least in native vocabulary). However, these three vowels each have three allophones in different environments:
 * is after light consonants,  after neutral consonants, and  after dark consonants
 * is after light consonants,  after neutral consonants, and  after dark consonants
 * is after light consonants,  after neutral consonants, and  after dark consonants

It is important to note that - at least for native speakers - the dark vowels are actually uvular unrounded vowels. To foreigners, these uvular vowels will sound like back rounded vowels that happen to be "articulated from the throat". In fact, both non-native speakers and shapeshifting dragons who assume a humanoid form always replace these uvular vowels with simple back rounded vowels.
