It's arbitrarily generated for the site. Nothing more. :[

I learned that Toki Pona, which isn't a commercial conlang, was rejected in 2007 on the grounds of no proven staying power.

Among non-auxiliary conlangs, the youngest with a code is Klingon, which was first published in 1985 (27 years). So Naʼvi might be eligible for a code around 2030.

I kind of don't see how time alive qualifies a language's existence. But what do I know, I'm just a linguist.

We've got to get that Na'vi version of 'Hamlet' published, as well as write a Na'vi opera!  ;)

Just throw it in one of those bad online translators and call it complete. They'll never know.

What bad online translator? Navilator? You gotta be kidding

hrh :P

Honestly, I think a fluent speaker would be the key. A few people here are probably close.

The ISO folks are looking for literature published in the language, not so much speakers.

I was thinking I could make a corpus of all of the Na'vi spoken on the forum, and publish that with CKAN or something, give it a DOI, and claim it's published literature.

Irtaviš Ačankif

Perhaps only the poetry, or something. Most of the Na'vi would be rather unfit to publish.

I'm not sure. Have you seen most published poetry? Considerably worse than the non-poetry on here.

Even prrkxentrrkrr has a nice ring to it.

But something like sequentially dumping everything in the Na'vi nì'Aw section onto paper would be a quite low-quality "publication"...

That's a creative idea, nonetheless....

Edit: It just occurred to me that there are at least four published documents that deal in some way with the Na'vi language. They are:

1. The Activist survival guide
2. Paul Frommer's workbook to the textbook 'Looking at Languages'.
3. Kaltxi Palulukan's 'Learn Na'vi the Easy Way'.
4. There is a chapter on Na'vi in the book 'Dictionary of Made-Up Languages' by Stephen D. Rogers.

The last book is also the only place (so far) that has any published details on the Dothraki language. It is widely available, and has quite a number of fascinating (and some very obscure) constructed languages documented in it.

There are also the numerous work that has been done to create PDF books to learn Na'vi, and I think particularly to Xelloss's one that tends to get closer to a book that could be commercialized one day, with the permission of the entities that are linked to the Na'vi language.

But there is something that could show the maturity of a language : translating poems. While discovering poems can be very interesting, it can also help maturing the language and eventually create new words that could be usefull to explain concepts. Poems are incredible pieces of litterature.

Yes. You're right. This is the best idea. With that, you'll show that the Na'vi is nice language.  :D  ;)
