Mundane languages do not create new words without the assistance of their speakers, either.
Point about the latter though.

No, Draconic is a magical language with magical properties. A lot of mundane languages still have surprising similarities, though.
I didn’t realize until some of the sandboxen that “can speak and understand Draconic” meant “can speak and understand any language”. I thought that dragonishes could speak and understand any language, and as a special case they could speak and understand Draconic. Apparently it’s the other way around: they can speak Draconic, and therefore also Leraal, English, Martisen, etc.

I wouldn't say it's canon that "can speak and understand Draconic" comes with "can speak and understand any language". It's convenient for sandboxen so I didn't correct kappa, and the latter is usually the way you get the former.

I think my interpretation was that they are conventionally, but not necessarily inseparably, bundled.

I interpreted it is a side effect of learning Draconic. After all, Draconic should have words for "the concept of X in the Y language," and the best word for that is probably going to just be "the word for X in Y". So as a side effect of knowing a Draconic, you naturally have the ability to use any other language you choose.

I have a bad feeling about Glen. Crossing my fingers that she isn't parasitized or something that can dodge Jasper and Edward.

It isn't bolded in the index, which means it hasn't come to a definitive stop, but obviously we haven't poked it in a few days.
