The ancient alphabet of the Dragons appears in multiple places throughout TESV: Skyrim, most notably the ancient Nordic Word Walls that dot Skyrim’s landscape. The alphabet also appears in Dragon Language: Myth no More by Hela Thrice-Versed, on the Dragon Stone in Bleak Falls Barrow, and on the banners that hang throughout the halls of High Hrothgar.
Dragon Script] did in fact appear as if the ancient Nords had copied the language of the dragons of old, for the characters of that language very much resemble claw marks, or scratches. One can almost envision a majestic dragon using his great, sharp talons to carve the symbols into the stone itself. And a human witness - possibly even a thrall or servant - learning, observering, so that he too could use the language for his own ends.
