The dragon language plays a very important role in the main quests of the game. It also conveys most of the information about dragons in the game’s universe to the players. Dragons were found interesting by the players from the very first game. The fact that the players love fantastic elements is seen as the source of this interest. with in-game book Dragon Language: Myth no Moredescribes how the natives misunderstood dragons. The natives of Skyrim viewed dragons as mindless beasts that roared at anyone who stood in their way. But they didn’t think they could use dragons’ cries as a means of communication.
The ancient scholars refused to believe this at first, but the book persisted in proving the existence of the Dragon tongue. Adventurers crossing the realm of Skyrim encounter ancient walls with unknown writings etched into their surfaces, which would later prove to be the language of the Dragon, and the writings said something along the wall. The book explains that these ancient walls were built by ancient warriors. This shows us that the people of the past learned their language from the dragon gods.

This proves that the ancient warriors were fluent or at least knowledgeable in the language of their masters. It also suggests that the Dragon Language was the most widely used communication tool in Skyrim in earlier times.
