If by "real" you mean "spoken natively in the universe we know", then Dovahzul is not real. It is definitely not Hebrew. The entire dragon language was invented by the game developers at Bethesda Softworks. The real language Dovahzul resembles most is English. How do we know this? Verbs do not conjugate, basic word order is SVO, there are definite and indefinite articles, and the roles of prepositions are basically identical. On the other hand, dragon runes do bear a passing resemblance to ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform script. |
