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’d more believe that dragons create new dialects out of pride (“This language construct is daft, I can do it better.”) and scalism than natural language drift.
