Drakaeshlange

**Drakaeshlange**, formerly known as **Drakaen Standard** is a creole language most commonly spoken in the Regnum Drakaes. It was originally developed by Drakaen refugees as a creole language composed of many different languages from the land of Rathnir. The latest version of the language was indirectly created by  Sirr Juhannes after teaching Drakaen refugees how to speak different languages from the world he once visited decades ago. Juan predicted that they wouldn't be able to remember the languages he taught them and it turned out to be the case so he combined all the languages he taught them and created another creole language with it. It eventually evolved into the modern version that  Drakaen citizens use today. Many names of places in the Regnum Drakaes were named from the ancient Drakaen Standard before  Sirr Juhannes  introduced languages from Earth.

It was based upon the first languages Juan introduced to the refugees: Traveler's Tongue or English, Germanic languages and Malay.

Drakaeshlange works similar to Traveler's Tongue when it comes to syntax but the phonetics are closer to Germanic languages, causing difficulty among non-native speakers.
Most words in Drakaen vocabulary are simply Germanized versions of certain English words, some words are closer to German, some are Germanized English words with Nordic characters and some, mostly animal names are Germanized Malay words.

## Etymology

The word *Drakaeshlange* (literally meaning: "Drakaen Language") is a portmanteau formed with the words "Drakaes", the name of the nation and "Schlange", the Drakaen word for Language. It was originally known as the "Drakaen Standard" but it has been changed after 200 years of evolution.
