What races are playable in the D&D 4e

I prefer the dragonborn race, but I'm not sure if it is playable on this site. I just need confirmation as to if it isn or not. Thanks :)

Completely up to the DM of the game as to what races are playable in his campaign. Dragonborn are in PHB1 and most DM's don't have any issues with people playing any race or class from that book, but it will depend. For example if I was running a Darksun game I would probably not allow a dragonborn pc it just doesn't fit the world. But to answer the thread title here is a mostly complete list of all the races in 4e that have rules for them to be PC's.

There are 55 races that turn up on a search of the DDI Compendium, although 9 of those don't have anything listed for "Ability Scores" or "Size" and appear to either be not intended as player characters, or are fluff variants of other races.

They're just variants of existing races, trading off a few basic traits for others. They're all Medium and I'm pretty sure they have the same racial ability score modifiers as the "Main" race (dragonborn, dwarf, elf).
