The Lion King nìNa'vi

[eejmensenikbenhet]

And, as I promised: here's the video. It is the instrumental version of the movie with the Na'vi lines that excist at the moment, I won't be making entirely new video's when changes occus, I will simply add in as annotation.

Lion King nìNa'vi Part 1

['Oma Tirea]

Commentary coming soon... things are looking a little busy for me now...

Srefereiey nìprrte'

...and here are my notes:

Spoiler

"ì" in "hìtxoa" sounds like "i".  Weak ejective, too.
There is also the ussue of not just ä, but a little bit on a, too.
The g in ng became hard, and the plosives (n.k. the "k" in "srak") became a little aspirated.
The tonal quality is real nice

I checked out some other auditions, and here's my advice for your speakers:

Tell them that there is a difference between i and ì, and there needs to be a clear contrast between the two.  Same with ä and a.
Tell them that the Na'vi e is actually like the short English e.
Tell them to go hard on those ejectives, and soft (but not too breathy) on p, t, and k.
Wish your auditioners good luck with 'RR, as it is not easy, but at the same time not impossible.  Use my 'RR sentence if you need

Is there someone who coordinates translation work on wiki? I'm afraid, that there are some grammar mistakes in translated parts - I corrected some of them, but it is good idea to check all parts in deep. Also there are some inconsistencies - for example if original text speaks about Pride land, in all translations it is translated differently.
BTW - are there other translators than EMIBH and me?

I assumed le'eylan was because she started the page but I haven't heard from her since this project was kicked back to life :/

Ok, then I try to speak with Le'eylan directly. If you want to have your own wiki account, ask for it here. Or send me your translation and I'll put it there, no problem for me.

To everyone who is interested in translation - so possibly including you Any help is welcome, there is still much work

[Blue Elf]

Scene 7 completed at wiki - the only line I can't translate is: "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty". Any ideas?
Starting to work on scene 8.

Starting to work on scene 8.

Something like "Za'u fìtsengne, palulukantsyìp."
Or to be a bit closer to the original:
"Fìtseng(e,) palulululukan." Or something. Well. Let's not do that since there are some Dutch people here like me that know what that means...

[Tirea Aean]

fìtsenge ma palu palu palu?

[Blue Elf]

fìtsenge ma palu palu palu?
