《泰坦尼克号》大导演詹姆斯卡梅隆新作《》(阿凡达/化身)中的主角便是潘多拉星球上的纳美外星人。为提升故事真实性,詹姆斯卡梅隆甚至找到语言学家,专为纳美人创造了一种自己的语言。

南加州大学的语言学教授就是那个创造纳美语的人。据称,当时他收到了卡梅隆工作室的邮件,称一个名叫“”的电影计划正在寻找语言学家帮助开发一种外星人语言。前去应征的他和导演本人畅谈了90分钟后,卡梅隆与他握手说到:“欢迎加入。”

“This is an alien but it has to be by human ,” 。

“It has to be that human are .”

It is a , with its own and rules。

It says some of 's words had “a “. have that it like or 。

此后,教授和卡梅隆花了四年时间,一起创造了纳美语。导演在创意之初,脑中就已经有了大约三十个纳美语单词的设想,将其扩展出一套完整的语言,听起来即有异星球情调,又有真实感,还有可读可记。教授表示:“这虽然是一种外星语言,但仍然需要人类演员来演绎,因此必须要容易发音。”纳美语有自己的语法、句法,最初的那些单词听起来有夏威夷波利尼西亚语的感觉,也有人觉得它们听起来像德语或日语。

“I met with each of the seven who use the hand. I them with the , we broke down。

“I also some sound files, MP3 files. I guess some of them them onto their iPods so they could to them at .”

在影片拍摄的过程中,一直在摄制组中,教导扮演外星人的7位主要演员讲纳美语。他还将发音录成MP3,让演员们可以在闲暇时边听边学。

“I wish I could speak it ,” he says. “As for who point the and such, I think I'm one. I wish that that might not be the case.” In fact, one day, hopes Na'vi will match , as the “gold ” alien . “There's a of into ,” says . “There are clubs that meet all over the world. There are a very group of who meet and try to speak it. “If like this with Na'vi I'd be .”

截至目前,纳美语共有大约1000个单词,全球能够掌握其语法的人只有一人,而且就算他本人也仍然在学习如何更流畅的说纳美语。不过,他并不打算就此结束,而是要继续钻研下去,争取借电影上映的东风让这种语言发扬光大,目标是比拼“克林贡语”(《星际迷航》中的外星语言,也是除了世界语之外最完善的人造语言,甚至搜索都有克林贡语版本。)

教授称:“你可以找到克林贡语译本的哈姆雷特,全球也有大量的克林贡语俱乐部。如果纳美语也能发展到这样的地步,我肯定会非常高兴。”
