Description
Here's Draconic, painstakingly created using the words, and many prefix/suffix rules, from the online Draconic dictionary. Fieari used DFlang to fill gaps in the earlier version to make his own Draconic file.

I'm not sure which one I like better, the DFLang one is way more readable. Draconic is a horrible language lacking even basic everyday words, but with translations of seemingly half the Monstrous Compendium critters names. e.g. no words for "beak", "bird" or "stick" or "pole", or even "rope" or "shoe". But if you need to know the name for a wererat, werewolf, or jackalwere, Draconic is the language for you.

Interestingly enough, one area where Draconic beats Dwarf Fortress, is in words describing Disembowelment (5 entries vs 4), although it totally lacks any words to describe the concept of "bowels".

Also included is a quick attempt at a "boosted" Orkglish language. This is just a quick work in progress though. Not sure if it's "too much" or "not enough". I'd really like if someone used this as a starting point to create something new.
