Creating a new sign language in a fictional world is a proof of creativity

[whatdoiputhere]

The amount of worldbuilding that went into this is insane. I appreciate all the effort. Also at this point, the Navi language should be an actual language

A Deaf producer introducing his own form of sign language in a movie as big as Avatar is bigger than most people understand. This guy should be getting the same credit as Paul Frommer for his work

The cure for world building details in this franchise is something never seen before💙

I remember when i watched the first movie, I initialy tought the Na'vi language was just random words, but then i start hearing a scheme behind it. The fact that they create a language specifically for this movie is outstanding, something I haven't seen since Star Trek times with Klingons

I immediately liked this guy 1 second into the video. CJ put every ounce of his being into that first "Hello".

This made me tear up. This film is modeling an idealized society that is inclusive of its deaf population, and I can only imagine the audiences that will feel seen because of this creative decision ❤

NA’VI SIGN LANGUAGE? IT CANT GET BETTER OMG

[RBlue]

I’m so glad they made a sign language. I had to scrap the idea of creating a mute Avatar for a character because there was no way of effectively communicating without voice, especially since the Na'vi don’t have any writing system known yet. This is amazing!

[SWMonkeyRaffSW]

But of course, because underwater they can only speak by sign language. Makes soo much sense! Great to see this added

[anthonyfanchin]

Sign language is such a brilliant thing to have.

[senuauwu]

navi language has evolved a lot
thats amazing

[javiernarvaez]

A sign language on Pandora is going to be an important and amazing addition to the franchise. James Cameron’s efforts of creating a world in cinema is incredible!

[Anamnesis]

Glad to finally see more about what this signing would be like. 💙

I've learned so much about sign language and this is the first time I'm seeing and hearing about Na'vi sign language. CJ Jones is also really good at signing.

I'm Brazilian so when I saw the movie I thought it was ASL (ours is called Libras) and I was already amazed by it. Now, knowing that it was developed for the movie just like the Na'vi spoken language... I just love it.
Everything about this movie and its world building is just insane.

[javieritom]

I gonna watch it this 14th of december, im really for this.

This is so beautiful. I can’t imagine how many people this will make happy

This is a one of the reasons why Avatar hit 2 Billion with no doubt ❤️🔥🙏
