Also, how long have Dragaerans been literate?  Or had printing presses?  (They
do have those, right?)  Do we really know what the long-term effect of
universal literary on language change is, especially with a phonetic alphabet,
not that we know jack about the Dragaeran alphabet?

Combine that with the general mental glacialness of Dragaeran society -- they
do everything else slow, I'd have to assume their language didn't change at
human rates, even without other factors.  Unrealistic?  Maybe, but part of the
unrealistic package.
