Dragonese
So in the httyd books I think it is mentioned that some of the words in dragonese are hard to pronounce because humans don't have a forked tongues, but if you want to be technical humans can fork their tongue. There is a cosmedic procedure that does this. Now I'm not saying he WOULD. I'm just saying that Hiccup has 100 percent at least THOUGHT about forking his tongue to speak better dragonese, even if he decided against it.

Ways they could make Dragonese work in a Httyd show based off of the books:
- Subtitles.
-Changing the voice - Perhaps by adding two voices to the mix, changing it a bit or something like that.
-Switching between subtitles and voice, depending on when other humans are around.

I'm re-reading the httyd books (I haven't read them since 8th grade, and I only read up to I think book 4 then). One of my favorite aspects of the books so far (I'm on book 3: How to speak Dragonese) is how Hiccup is the only Viking who can, well, speak Dragonese. I feel like they could have used this plot device in the movie franchise. I think it could have been introduced in DoB/RoB as another confirmation that Hiccup is the dragon boy.
That, and I just really would have liked to see Hiccup talking to Toothless in dragonese. I think it's adorable.
Additionally: I spent 7½ hours listening to Test Drive while reading book 2 at work. I'm hyper fixating hard.

based on the httyd au thought i had the other day i spun a wheel for my spotify wrapped challenge. and I got 74 and wrote this!
@lirabuswavi no viggo sadly.
not yet...
Hiccup stretches a little as he leans back on Toothless. The two glide above the clouds, where the sun is at its brightest and warmest. He chirps lowly to Toothless as he flexes his covered fingers. His false blunt claws made up of a mixture of shed scales and treated leather cover the back half of his fingers while his pads are still exposed to allow him to feel and work. Makes deboning fish a tone easier. Toothess chirps back to him.
Happy. Both are so happy.
He shifts back up and nudges his companion.
“Earth go!”
Dragonese rolls off his tongue easily and Toothless gurgles a positive reply. His companion knows what he wants to do. The last two years since the death of the Queen, Hiccup had spent most of his time dragon-watching, flying around with Toothless. He has focused on learning to speak to his best friend. And that is his plan for today. A new island and maybe new dragons. He is slowly getting further and further from home. But the map runs out eventually and Hiccup hesitates to go further.
What if he got lost so far from home?
What if something broke and Toothless needed a repair?
Toothless cuts into a sudden barrel roll and Hiccup shifts his metal foot accordingly, letting out a human whoop and then a dragon roar of excitement. They spiral for a moment before catching a up draft and slowly rising. He rubs his blunt claws over his friend’s head, scratching all the spot he knows Toothless loves. He earns a high pitch croon in response to his efforts.
They land on a very small island with a few terrible terrors and gronkles dotting the area. The wild dragons shoot Hiccup a wary look. But he chirps out a friendly greeting while leanig against Toothless who huffs at them to be nice to his wingpartner. A few come over to curiously sniffing at his arms. Hiccup lets them, calling out softly to them. They bump him respectfully, smelling his rank in the nest. He gives out a few scratches and then settles into writing and drawing in his journal. Toothless settles beside him and a few of the dragons come to rest around him. The others wander back to what they were doing before.
If only humans were this easy to interact with.
He spots a few dragons that seem warier. He sees that those dragons have deep scars. Not from other dragons. But from blades. A few back in the nest had such injuries from when there were raids on the village. Missing limbs, damaged tails, and nicked wings. But some of those scars are not familiar looking. They look to be from traps. He had encountered a few dragons with the strange traps still attached. There are people out there trying to trap dragons. People who use strange metals that Hiccup had not seen befor that seems to defy all the dragonblasts that he has aimed at it after removing it from the poor dragons.
He slips out some of the gear he had taken to carrying with him. He chirps and reassures as he moves closer to the dragons with these injuries. Toothless comes with him and shows off his prosthetic tail. This seems to reassure many of the dragons. He chitters and chirps as he works.
After he finishes, he invites any that want to join his nest to return home with him. Or if they ever need repairs to their prosthetic. He and Toothless take off into the sky as the sun starts to set, slowly making their way home.

Harley (@anxiousdisasterlesbian) and I (But mostly her) have been thinking about Dragon Riders and language lore. It's fun.
Anyways, please keep asking about Dragon Riders, I'm bored and wanna talk about the droojun world.

But the winds will still blow when I am no longer here. The storms will still rage, and the forces of Empire and oppression, be they Roman or otherwise, will still be waiting at the corners of the ocean. The fight goes on for the Heroes of the Future.

Httyd theory/headcannon
At first I was like, why is dragonese so similar to the language the humans speak, that doesn't make sense. Then I thought, well duh, languages don't form in a vacuum. The dragons likely got a lot of their language from the surrounding vikings, and possibly vice versa.
Another thing, I'm not one hundred percent sure but I think there have been mentions of dragons living outside the archipelago. This is why I think that there are multiple different dragonese languages. Also, I am a strong believer in dragonese dialects.

man, book 3 start is surely a hard time for Hiccup and Fishlegs. they got lost, got captured, fishlegs almost died, hiccup lost toothless, when they get back to berk they lose their ship, they get yelled and humiliated by Gobber, then Hiccup goes home he has to listen to his own dad say his dragon (which he loves a lot) is probably dead, THEN HIS DAD THROWS HIS (HALF) BOOK (THE WORK OF HIS LIFE) ON THE FIRE and if thats not enough, he has to sleep on a cold bed having nightmares about losing his dragon.
my mind is permanently stuck on the scene of Hiccup burning his fingers to get the book out of the fire.
sometimes I truly forgot how much these kids had to go through. do you ever think about Fishlegs going home, with only Horrorcow, who he can not understand fully, after all they went through? do you think he cried on the darkness, mourning for toothless and wondering why their life has to be like this?
these two went through so much, guys. so much.

Thinking about how awkward it is for the books to be a translation.
Is dragonese really close to english babytalk and is just the norse translated or is the dragonese we see just norse babytalk that's also translated into english?
#httyd#httyd books#how to train your dragon#how is dragonese related to english? or was that something that just happened tangentially#like parallel evolution#everything is crabs
