Draconic is the language of dragons. Other native speakers include members of draconic and reptilian races, such as kobolds and wyverns. The language is also used as a primary means of arcane notation throughout Faerun, though it is not inherently tied to the Arcane language.

Draconic has its own distinct alphabet. According to Dragons in terms of age it is second only to the language of "outsiders". Though when pressed they do not specify which language: Abyssal, Celestial or Infernal.

It is also speculated that the reason many reptilian races speak a form of Draconic is not because they are related physically to dragons, but because at some point early in their history dragons enslaved them. There are dialects of dragon for each of the various species of dragon, but the differences are small and can often only be heard by dragons themselves. Someone who learns Draconic from a red dragon will be able to understand, and make themselves understood by, a blue dragon or gold dragon.

Draconic itself, has not changed in hundreds of years.
