Draconic is the Lingua Franca of magic, and almost all arcane and psionic writing and research is written in this language. Though it is possible to learn spellcasting without it, a wizard who does not speak Draconic is about as rare as an Ecclesian priest who does not speak Sanctis.

A dialect of Draconic known as Yipyak is spoken by Kobolds. Kobolds do not read or write and as such do not use the Draconic Syllabary.
