I can translate what a dog is saying quite well so I don't think it'd be too hard lol. Though getting into a detailed conversation would be a bit hard.

Dogs are easy, their entire body language and vocal set has evolved to be understandable by humans. Most people can understand what a dog is trying to 'say'.
A dragon 'Language' would be... Huh, imagine.
No two dragon otherkin can even agree on what they really LOOK like. not what world/universe they are from, or even what it all MEANS to be Dragon.
yet there is a persistent desire to find some commonality, something to bind us all together...
Me, I was an animal. No vocal language more complex than that required to direct a pack to hunt, wolves have more complex language.
Body language- scent, wing posture, tail movements, facial expressions, all more important to communication than mere noise.
Your 'species' may be different, of course. But that's really my point...

I still find the idea of an "official" language ridiculous, I can make an educated guess as to what kind of language my species spoke.
I'm still not completely sure, and I don't think I ever will. However, I can guess that I spoke a language, maybe even multiple ones. Body language was really important though. I guess it depends on who you ask what kind of answer you get. |

| To answer your question, I often think that if there was a dragon language, it would be similar maybe to German. German has loads of consonents in its words. To me one would have to be a dragon to speak German. I do after all think it's a pretty neat language. Just throwing this idea out there. |

| I found a so-called "draconic language" in a book one time. There were only pretty basic words. But you COULD say "shut up". I think shut up was... Thric renthisj.... I began to learn it. I still am not actually sure its the "true" language. |

Considering the various kinds of dragons there are and the many different places we/they come from, I guarantee you, it's not the One True Language or whatever. That's not saying it isn't a valid language that works linguistically, but I'd say it's more than likely just the product of a creative and talented human mind.

Yes i see, and you are probably right.
I also agree with you on the "one true language" thing
