Kaltxì! Welcome to Learn Na'vi

Na'vi is a constructed language spoken by the fictional indigenous race (the Na'vi) on Pandora in James Cameron's 2009 film Avatar. The language was created by Dr. Paul Frommer, a linguistics professor at USC. This website exists to share this beautiful language with all who want to learn. Below are some popular learning resources. You can find more in the downloads section, including an excellent Na'vi Grammar Reference by Wm. Annis.

Site Features

This informational website, like the Na'vi language itself, is still developing. So far, we have a Na'vi-to-English vocabulary section, the basics of speaking/pronouncing Na'vi, and an in-progress grammar and syntax section. There are more resources in the downloads section. Check back often for updates!

How to Use this Site

Firstly, know that the language is still in development and that some knowledge is still speculative. If you double-click any Na'vi word, you will be taken to the Vocabulary section for that word. A more complete dictionary is in the works.
