This idea just struck me and I would love to hear your opinions about it.

We know that Avatar 2 might involve other moons around the planet Polyphemus. According to the Activist's Guide, at least one other moon has certain lifeforms.
What if there were humanoids on that moon too, what language would they speak? It would be very odd if they could also speak Na'vi. What do you think, could there be another language besides Na'vi (and English) in Avatar 2?  ;D

P.S. Ma Paul Frommer, if you read this, I don't mean them to give you extra work, I rather only have one alien language that is fully worked out than two with a smaller vocabulary.  ;)

That would be wonderful, but somehow I doubt it, mainly because often it takes years to develop a fully functioning language.
But never give up hope, they may surprise us.

I dont even want a third one to exist. I really think 3 sentient species within a 4.4 light year radius.... ya... no.

If someone would pay me to do it, I could give them a fully functioning language with a nice starting vocabulary (750-1000 words) in about two weeks.  I don't get the impression Frommer was in the habit of creating languages.  Those lunatics such as myself who have been doing this for a long time, however, should be able to bang out a few languages sketches in very short order.  With Na'vi under his belt, Frommer could easily produce another one, and in less time, too.  ;)

I think you have it done already!  ;D  ;D

Make a parallel dialect/language of the Na'vi.  There are other continents.  You could probably have four nations done at the end of four months.

The ASG indicates life on other moons.  Have a language ready?  ;D

Another language IMO is bad idea  :-\
Na'vi isn't complete yet.
Paul Frommer started working on it near 2005 so they neeed a few years to build a second one language  :-[

Yes, I know what you mean, I am an experienced conlanger myself. By "fully functioning" I meant not just sketched out or extremely regular.
I personally prefer to create natural-looking languages, with lots of irregularities and fossilized forms and whatnot. But yes, if you ask me to do an extremely simple language, with regular sintax and predictable morphology, in two or three weeks is finished.  ;)

Have to remember though, Cameron wanted specific sounding words, and demanded that Frommer made words to fit around things he wanted. It wasn't all freelance (if you understand me) I cant remember the source though, some interview!

I do hope they dont creat another language, 1 alien language is enough for me! :p

agree xD

I think one language is enough, personally. But I won't blame Dr. frommer if he decides to come up with another one.

You must have intrest for physics/maths? :D


Well there haven't real indication on this new language you guys talking about. However, the article one of the member posted above... did say, "Avatar 2 would not venture off of pandora."... So personally I don't think there will another language... however there could be different dialects of na'vi... Anything possible... best we can do is keep it open till they decide upon a story really.

Man I cannot wait for the DVD or the next movie :D

We have our hands full already with learning Na'vi as it is. I highly doubt we'll be learning a new language. However, it would be interesting to see if other dialects of Na'vi exist. Every language has regional dialects. Given the fact that there are at least 15 other clans out there, i wouldn't be surprised if various local dialects exist.
See that shadow? It's the last one you're gonna see.

I'm not so sure there will be other dialects in Avatar 2. Because of the biology of Pandora, all the sentient beings could have connections to each other in a way that could, possibly, eliminate the different dialects. However, there could be slightly different use of vocabulary because of the differences in the regions. Certain words of the language could possibly be used more than others. That being said, I don't believe that there will be enough difference in the way that the Na'vi communicate with each other to classify as different dialects.

Mr. Frommer worked pretty hard on creating Na'vi.

that launguage would most definitly be used.

if Na'vi is not used, then most likely no launguage would be used.

think about it, the Na'vi people can speak english now.

they already spoke an unrealistic amount of english in the first movie.

Tsawltskxe

Yea, but take into consideration, that Jake comes to Pandora few years after human colonisation. So Grace's schools have done pretty well.
To me, there rather won't be new language, but there can be different Na'Vi language types for other tribes.
