For now, not much is known about the linguistic landscape of Wesnoth and its peoples.

=== Drake Language ===
==== Phonology ====
According to the game files (specifically, wesnoth/data/core/macros/names.cfg), the Drake language's phonological inventory consists of the following phonemes:

Presumably, all consonants can be geminated and all vowels have a corresponding nasal variant due to the spelling peculiarities outlined in the game files.

==== Orthography ====
* All phonemes are orthographically represented the same way they are in english, except for /ʔ/, which is written as an apostrophe ⟨'⟩.
* Final ⟨hn⟩ serves as a nasalization marker.
* Final ⟨é⟩ indicates the vowel is spoken rather than modifying a medial vowel (there is no silent final 'e' in the language).
* Word-final ⟨ck⟩ has the value /k/.
