Obligatory intervention for the sake of good draconic.

You are using letter names to spell Rah-En-Pah-Li-Yeh Tag-Ot Mah-En, or "REPLY TO ME". This is similar to an imaginary situation where a German speaker has learned the English letter names (Ey, Bee, See and so on) and translates "Guten Tag" to English as "Jee-you-tee-ee-en Tee-ey-jee".  Draconic is in principle an actual language like English or German, not just a letter replacement code - thus translations are made using dictionaries and grammar rules.

How does "reply to me" sound in draconic then? One candidate is tinvaak zu'u, literally "speak I", idiomatically "speak to me".

Now that that's out of the way, this is my message as per your request. Hi wo koraav roti, wo los huniil ko Keizaal?
