Dréàn Ãü

General information
Dréàn Ãü (Pronounced Drey-arn Aye-oo) is the romanised version of the symbolic language spoken by ancient Dragons and Wyverns. It is still spoken today by a minority of Dragons on the Ínarís, the legendary islands of the pacific. It is unknown how this language came to be known by Humans, but myth says that a human warrior befrended a dragon and protected it. Some say this dragon taught the human this language, but it's uncertain how he notified other humans as the warrior was never seen again.

Alphabet
The ancient form of the language used runic script. So far no full examples of the runic alphaben used has been found, except the symbols for the letters A, T, L, I, Í, Q and Ë. The runes are the same in uppercase and lowercase, leading so confusion in whether or not a word is a name.

The romanisation/modern version uses the standard English alphabet. Vowels can have either an acute, a grave or an umlaut diacritic, or none at all, the letters A, N and O can have a tilde diacritic which are counted as different letters.

All consonants are pronounced as in English and all vowel sounds are short. (A as in Fat, E as in Bet, I as in Eat, O as in Lot, U as in Ugly)

Umlauts(Ä, Ë, Ï, Ö, Ü) extend the vowel sound from their nomally short pronunciations. (Ä as in Bake, Ë as in Meet, Ï as in Icon, Ö as in Coal, Ü as in Amuse)
