I want to know how to say "dragon" in a bunch of other languages.
Include the proper spelling and punctuation.
I would prefer the word to be written in Celtic, Old Norse, or some other European language (I consider spanish European)

In Chinese (mandarin) it's called "long" in second tone.
Understand that you are not looking for a Chinese answer but just in case you are interested.
"long" is a traditional symbol in China to represents power and authority. The emperors in ancient Chinese dynasties usually used dragon to symoblize their royal root and privileges.

In Spanish, its 'dragón'
