Hey guys, this whole website is mind-blowing. I think were really on to something here.

There's one thing I feel were missing though; a written form.

Ive been putting together some ideas for a written form of Na'vi. It's all to do with syllables, free-flow and writing vertically, upwards, like a tree. (If anyones interested in my ideas or wants to chip in with their opinions or fresh suggestions, get back to me here)

Now, obviously, Paul Frommer's the 'man' when it comes to anything like this. But i do feel like you guys might like what Ive come up with. Its not quite like anything Ive seen really.

I feel like it looks fittingly pretty, honours the mentality of the Na'vi, seems aptly tribal and, above all, is 'alien' in its rule-set. I am, after all though, just a 'drawing' guy. When it comes to the words and the sentences, I already know there's no better place than here.

Peace.

Na'vi does not have a written form.  They don't really need one since they have that whole moon-wide network.

Listen to my Na'vi Lessons podcast!

I would love to see what you've got Piccasio! It sounds awesome. I love unique conlang scripts.

Yes, I know that the Na'vi don't have a written form of the language, but unfortunately I am not Na'vi and I can't make Tsaheylu, and neither are you. Seeing as we all communicate via written word, I see no reason that we can't be creative! We already have the alphabet with all of the syllabary and that's all we need. I'm down Picassio! Let me know when you're done designing it!

Like dotser said, since we can't connect like the Na'vi, we could create a written form of it.

I find the idea intriguing. Let us know when you're done creating it.

Join the real life Na'vi tribe here  (And yes, it will be a real tribe in the real world, NOT a role play tribe!)

It's like the internet...without your keyboard.

You mean you don't plug your head in to something connected to the Earth and talk to everyone else?  I thought everyone had that, hmmm....
