Centauri:

(This is mostly for me.)

The Centauri have their own spoken language, but no widespread written language. Most Centauri words utilized by dragons are phonetically converted into Common Draconic to be writable. Many areas in the Region are named by the Centauri and any directions needed to them from Centauri must usually be named as they would. Most names for places can be directly translated to describe them, but in speaking, they act more like compound words than names. Due to the prevalence of Centauri influence on Dragon culture in the area, many Centauri words have become common in Draconic such as Eld, Ald, or Nai. Elder, a slang word for Foolish Elder, and Mountain.

Note that these words are draconic versions of Centauri and may not be grammatically accurate.

The Rest of my lore may be found here.

Rules:

Just like any language, there are rules. Not as complex as many because of the limitations of my knowledge, but rules nonetheless. Many dragons also do not follow them well and this is basically a list by them.


Plurality:

Generally speaking, only nouns and pronouns will be plural. Adjectives may also be plural occasionally. Verbs keep the same form. Proper nouns often end in "i" and "a" but they lack plural forms.

Ends with Consonant - Words that end with consonants can have an "a" or an "i" Usually, words that start with vowels will end with "a." Words that start with a consonant will end in "i."

Ends with Vowel - Words that end with a vowel will generally have a "k" at the end.
