Blockbuster film spawns new language phenomenon
Though James Cameron fell short of the “Best Picture” Oscar with his blockbuster film, Avatar, he raked in the dough at the box office; grossing more than 2 billion dollars in sales, the highest ever. The buzz about the film revolved around the amazing 3D (and even 4D) effects, reflecting a breakthrough in cinematic technology. But perhaps the most unusual buzz came when the language spoken by the film’s extraterrestrial beings, Na’vi, became an instant sensation, sweeping the the web.
Just 24 hours after the premiere of Avatar, the website Language Log, hosted a Q&A with the Na’vi language’s creator Paul Frommer; and the phenomenon of Na’vi took off. People became obsessed with the newly created tongue and wanted to speak it themselves. There are countless followers who claim to be fluent in Na’vi.
The creation of the language began back in 2005, four years before the film would reach theaters. Unlike other languages babbled by aliens in other films, Na’vi actually has a system. So much so that words and sentences not even spoken in the film can be formed using the system (once you figure that system out, of course). No dictionary has been written yet, but Frommer says he is thrilled to see people so enthralled with his language and he is impressed with their progress.
A lengthy statement was posted on the Language Log website by a user who figured out the system…
“Ngaru ätxäle … oel set futa Hal’liwutta tsayeyktanru ngal peng futa lì’fyati Na’viyä nume nereeiu a ngeyä wotxa lì’utìtäftxurenu sì aylì’uyä sänumeti perängey ayoel. Ayoel nereu a tsa’u ke tsayängun lu txo ayoel pänutìng futa rawketi sayi nìwotx ulte Eywafa ke txayey. Kawkrr!!”
Or, in English:
“I now ask you to tell the Hollywood bosses [Hal'liwutta tsayeyktanru] that those of us who want to learn the Na’vi language are waiting (impatiently) for your full grammar and lexicon. We promise to raise a lotta hell if what we want is not forthcoming, and ‘by Eywa’ we wont stop. Ever!!”
