科幻大片《阿凡达》已经在1月4日正式引进中国大陆，随之而来的观影热潮前所未有，影片中外星人的语言相信大家必定很好奇，导演詹姆斯卡梅隆为提升《阿凡达》故事真实性，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Paul Frommer就是那个创造纳美语的人。

　　The linguistics expert from the University of Southern California isthe brains behind the language used by James Camerons 10-foot-tallalien tribe in the much-anticipated science fiction epic, Avatar。

　　Jim Camerons production department at Lightstorm Entertainment was looking for a linguist that would be able to help him develop an alienlanguage, explains Professor Frommer。

　　At that time, it wasnteven called Avatar - it was project 880 - but the e-mail was forwarded to me and I saw it and jumped on it. I was very excited about it. Aweek or two later I was called in for a talk. The language enthusiast managed to persuade Cameron that he was the man to create afunctioning language for a story the director had dreamt up a decadeearlier. I spent a wonderful 90-minutes with Jim and at the end of it he shook my hand and said welcome aboard, says Professor Frommer。

　　The pair worked together for four years to develop the Navi language。

　　The director had already come up with about thirty words, for the characters names and body parts. But he was looking to the professor to give the language an authentic but exotic feel。
