Now here's a first for the podcast: its first conlang! Na'vi, the language created for the Avatar films, was the choice of Stefan Mir-Mackiewicz, a language enthusiast who plays a role in shaping this constructed language. We discussed the origins of Na'vi, its sources of inspiration, its sounds and grammar, and the community that continues to develop it. Some language history and 'Proto-Na'vi' even get a mention!

Content note from Stefan: it's a common misunderstanding that Paul Frommer inspired directly by Polynesian languages; rather, the original words he was given by James Cameron had a "Polynesian flavour".


Host: Dr. Danny Bate

Guest: Stefan Mir-Mackiewicz (screen name: HTML_'Rrta)

Audio Mixing and Mastering: Jeremiah McPadden

Music: Acoustic Guitar by William King
