I would as well. Anonymoose, if it's possible do you think you could figure out how it works for the dragons there?

Is it just gibberish or did SE actually make up a language with vocabulary, grammar and everything else?

I can't find the post at the moment, but one of the devs did say that the dragon language is made up by the dev team. It was meant to sound ancient and difficult for people to pronounce.

It's somewhere in the lore section, but will keep looking

It's true that most of major dragons' names come from Norse mythology, but minor dragons' names take their roots from Russian/Slavic folklore. Svarog, for example, is a major Slavic god. Goryshche is just a random word which means either 'a big mountain' (in Russian) or an attic (in Ukrainian). Most of SV dragons' names come from Russian/Slavic folklor, too.

Chudo Yudo is a classic Slavic monster. Koshchei, too, although, it never was a dragon in folklore. Gorynich is a classic dragon from Slavic folklore. Just food for thoughts.

Not sure if someone answered but I think I figured out the Vanu naming conventions. They all seem to have two syllable first names. For example Guna, Gona and Hinu. From what I seen the second syllable must always start with a N but how it's pronounced does not matter. As for their last names it seems to either be Vanu or Vali. I have a theory that it signifies gender. Vanu for males and Vali for females. Of course, the naming convention is only for the Zundu and not the Vundu. I haven't seen enough Vundu names to arrive at a conclusion for them. Examples of names:

Guna Vanu
Gona Vanu
Hinu Vali
Sonu Vanu
Lonu Vanu

Regarding the Vanu Vanu they seem to be inspired by the Maori people of New Zealand. The Vanu Vanu dance is similar to the Maori war dance (Haka?) they also revere whales + art is similar to the Maori

I'm wondering about ancient Allag - specifically, what does "Azys Lla" even mean?
