Drake was a language spoken in Atlanteia from its foundation till roughly the tenth century A.D., after which point it was called Middle Drake.

The dragons who spoke the language had no ethnonym, and simply called themselves N’GV /ŋeʔḛ̀ɣaa/ "dragons", and the language name is derived from this. It is an Afro-Asiatic language, not their innate language; N’V /ŋèʔa̰a̰/, for example, is cognate to Egyptian nˁw 'serpent'.
