This free Draconic translator converts English to Draconic — and Draconic back to English or Common — instantly. Draconic is considered one of the oldest languages in the multiverse, spoken by dragons, dragonborn, and kobolds alike.
Its hard consonants, sharp sibilants, and rhythmic cadence are said to carry an innate sense of power, which is why so many arcane scrolls and spellbooks quote Draconic phrases. Sorcerers with draconic bloodlines and wizards who study ancient magic frequently learn it to decipher forgotten texts. Because Draconic predates most other tongues, place names and monster names throughout D&D lore often trace back to Draconic origins — use the From/To swap above for an instant Draconic to English translation as well.
Draconic is an exotic language in D&D 5e, spoken by dragons, dragonborn, and kobolds. It is written in the Iokharic script. It is one of the oldest languages, with hard consonants, sibilants, and an inherent sense of power.
