"Dovahzul" is the in-language name, I don't think we've establish an English name yet. (For example: Deutsch -> German, Espanol -> Spanish, Dovahzul -> ?). "Dragontongue" is one possibility. Other thoughts?

Myufi For the "common" language of Skyrim and English, "dragontongue" or "dragonspeak" should be used. I use the latter in my FanFic because it makes the most sense in English. In Italic languages, the word might translate into "dragontongue" (eg draco lingua = hyper-literal Latin for "dragon language"). |

MyufiDovahzul sounds good to me.
But, if you simply told somebody in English that you spoke Dovahzul, I wouldn't expect them to understand what that is. For clarification, other than saying 'dragon language', I like the English term of Dragontongue.
