Skyrim Nordic Burrials

Has any one noticed that the nordic burrial sites are all in dragon tongue?  The only thing you have to do is modify the words, like a space in some parts, maybe add or subtract a leter. Same goesfor the dragon priests and dragons themselves.

Some exaples are:

Dragon priest- vokun- shadow

Nordic burial- Angarvunde- Angaar Vunde- Tower Tongues

Dragon- Alduin- Al Duiin - Destroyer Will Devour

All dragons and dragon priests are indeed named in the dragon language. You can see a complete list of dragon names here.

Nordic place names are a bit trickier, but most are more likely to be based on an unknown Nordic language than dragon. You can read more about Nordic place names in this thread.

Note that the words angaar "tower" and vun "tongue" are both invented by the community and not official words. Angaar in particular was made with Nordic names in mind, but wouldn't have any factual bearing on their translations.
