The fantasy trope that everyone of a given species shares the same language always seemed a bit funny to me.

Co-author credit on this comic to my daughter, who came up with the concept. (She makes a lot of comics about dragons, but she’s too young to share them publicly.)

    I do something similar too! In my dnd game I treat draconic as this ancient uber conservative language and lizard folks speak reptilic, a descendant of draconic. One of my PC knows draconic so I always describe reptilic to sound simplified and with weird accent to him. The party recently came across some troglodytes and I read that the language is related to draconic so when I played the troglodytes speaking I basically went caveman-speak for the PC that knows draconic haha.
