The English word example in the alphabet for the ll is "table". The l in "table" sounds like a sort of deep l sound. But I saw a video on youtube where the guy said its the same as the ll in Spanish, which makes a "y" sound.

Im confused as to what the proper pronunciation is for the ll in Na'vi.

The "table" pronunciation is correct.

Not everyone who has put up a pronunciation example is pronouncing things correctly, so take them with a grain of salt if it seems confusing how they are doing it.

i agree. although, in this example it is safe to say that the "ll" sound is definitely a slightly longer "l" (deep or shallow, that's another question and also less important) and not spanish "ll".

Ok, I honestly didn't think it was the Spanish ll, (elle in the Spanish alphabet), but I just wanted to be sure by seeing what other people said on here about it.

Better safe than sorry ;)
