How does Draconic sound?

[Liquide]

My knowledge of Swedish is limited to knowing it's the language spoken in Sweden, but I'll try to guess.

I blah blah with blood blah hunt blah blah blah blah. Blah blah enemy blah magic.

Mmh... Havn't rolled high on Decipher Script.

blod = blood
magi = magic

aye

(I think you failed the DC26 with quite some there)

I den kraft som kommer från mitt blod skall jag återkalla den kraft som kommer från svunnen tid.

Den kraft som dödliga anammar och kallar magi.

By the power of my blood I will recall the power of ancient times. ...The power mortals have taken to them and named magic.

Or something very similar.

It all depends on what you envision a dragon's mouth to be like.
The shape of it's tongue and teeth are going to be major factors.
In my mind, labio-dental fricatives (f and v) would be minimal, if in existance at all, since all them sharp teeth would be killers on the lips. Sibilants would likely be prominent, as would liquids (such as l & r, which could also function as semi-vowels). The flexible tongue and larger interior of the mouth could possibly expand the range of vowels as well.

If you picture the tongue as narrow and snakelike then most stops would be altered (except the plosives) since airflow would carry around the tongue more.

For some reason I also see it as being heavily aspirated.

The whole message, or just its "Captain Pedantic" conclusion ?

And let us not forget the lizard lips! The sounds of B, M, P, and W all require lip motion that real-world reptiles simply don't have.

All of this raises the possibility of having dragons who can understand Common, but are physically incapable of speaking it.

I get that this post was made the same year I was born but I always thought it sounded like Russian

It sounds like a Komodo dragon gargling a halfling.

I think it depends whether you're in the dragon's mouth or stomach.
