I've mentioned it in a few other threads, but I've been looking for a good list of what words people have recorded pronunciation for. What I've found is that there's a list of what words exist, but not what words are needed.
And on top of that, many words are pronounced wrong.
So to solve both issues, I have set up google docs with a spreadsheet of all known attested Na'vi words, with a place to include the URL of an audio sample, who the speaker is, and three other people to sign off as a reviewer.
Speakers and reviewers wanted!Anyone who has recorded individual Na'vi words is welcome to become a speaker, as long as there is an MP3 file which can be linked to directly for ease of playback and review. All I ask is that if you re-record the file, you do not REPLACE the existing file at the same location if at all possible. I would rather not have recordings change without the review information changing as well.
Similarly I am looking for anyone who feels they have a good grasp on how Na'vi should sound and can pay attention to the vowel sounds, consonant sounds (Including properly unreleased and unaspirated pronunciation), and syllable stress. The whole point of this is not just to track words, but to track correct pronunciation as well.
You can find the google docs spreadsheet at:

It includes an embedded player for directly listening to any clips.
