Treaty on the Golbraki language
Starting from the end of the year 1436, and sporadically onwards, Edward Otherworld will make it is duty to create a base of encyclopedic litterature of the Known World. From the day of Diathan, 2nd of Burning, year 1436 began the elaboration of a manuscript, a treaty on the Draconic language that could be used as learning material.
The treaty's introduction:
Golbraka, or Bright Drakes, are today part of the two main ethnic groups that make up the population of Eldjfall, following the battle of Drekaland. They have created their own form of language that we could refer to as “draconic”, but this term seems repressive and does not take into consideration that the Golbraki are not a foreign animal species to study, but, (and to no one’s surprise) are an actual, humanoid ethnic group with their own name and designation for their people. That being said, we will refer to the Golbraki language in this book, as you should.
This language evolved through time, from being a simple vocalization of feelings and energy between individuals, to a complex language. The evolution was long and unstable due to the nomadic lifestyle of Golbrakis in Drekaland, and it took numerous people and months of work and discussion, mainly on pronunciation and transcription.
We will write this manual in Vrain, but some sounds present in the Golbraki language cannot be produced with the common Vrain alphabet. We will thus use some specific letters from the ancient Forgloir alphabet, as well as specific markings and collocations of letters and symbols to create new sounds. Those will be mentioned at the start of this manual, and be refereed to in any doubt. This manual should be used with the help of an avid user of the language, ideally a native speaker.
