I know that ther is some of the Draconic Language listed in the Draconomicon, but does anyone know if there is a more completelisting of it somewhere else?

I'm looking for words that were not done in the aforementioned book.

Thanks for the help.

Races of the Dragon presents TEN WHOLE WORDS from which members of the Dracolexi prestige class may choose their four (count 'em: FOUR) Draconic words of power.

The Council of Wyrms boxed set probably has quite a list; I don't know if that is available as a pdf or not; if it is, Drive Through RPG and other online stores probably have it.

Races of the Dragon also has a whole list of draconic words: Appendix I, Vocabulary. It is two pages long and has three columnes of vocabulary per site (= six columnes).

As far as I know, the idea of a single draconic language in D&D worlds debuted in 3E, as part of a general simplification of tongues and scripts.

In 2E were they speaking individual species languages? None of my characters ever met a dragon in any of the dungeons I played through (which was probably a good thing!).

http://mysticallair.deviantart.com/journal/6483844/ has a copy of a Draconic dictionary of sorts, which it attributes to Dragon Magazine. I originally read through the list on another site, supposedly from the guy who created the Draconic vocabulary/syntax that was partially published in Draconomicon, but I can't seem to locate that other site now....

In 2E, each draconic race had its own tongue. In addition to that, there were common tongues per subtype (gem dragons, metallic dragons, chromatic dragons...). In addition that, most dragon species had a chance to communicate with any intelligent creature (a % chance that increased by age category).

There's a Draconic-English/English-Draconic dictionary here. I'm not sure if it corresponds to official WotC draconic (where the vocab is known), though.
