Director James Cameron introduced us to the ‘Avatar’ world in 2009, with the first film installment. From here, we learned about the planet of Pandora, Jake Sully, and the war between the sky people (humans) and the Omaticaya clan over unobtanium extraction. The film ended with Jake, originally a sky person, devoting his life to becoming a part of the clan.

The newest installment, called ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’, came out on Dec. 16, 2022, and reintroduced us to the Omaticaya clan. At this point, Jake and Neytiri are the leaders of the clan and decide to flee somewhere else due to the ongoing war with the sky people. They find a water tribe to live among, where the bulk of the film takes place. 

The Na’vi Language

The Na’vi language is a fictional language that the Na’vi people, including the Omaticaya clan, use to communicate. Paul Frommer, a linguist and professor, created the language specifically for the film franchise. The language has about 1,000 words.
