Draconic
Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.
Translating the written draconic language proves difficult to speakers unfamiliar with the vowel-stacking phenomenon similar to classical Elvish script. Instead of writing a vowel sound in its own space, those phonemes are stacked on the following consonant. Luckily, Draconic glyphs are phonetically distinct from each other and never change. Also a notable feature, the language lacks the 'p' and 'b' sounds from its phonetic repertoire, due to anatomical limitations. Words (especially names) containing these consonants prove problematic to native speakers and are typically pronounced with another plosive, such as 'd', 'g', or 'k'.
