Why don't you just play the game, talk to people about it. Listen when a dragon appears, talk to people from other provinces. No dragons outside of Skyrim.

But even if Numunnax is incorrect, I had another point there, which it seems you chose to ignore.

He wouldn't know because there apparently were no dragons, all he knew was that dragons were a big lizard with wings. He had a big lizard with wings, hey I guess it's a dragon then. That's why.
