Na'vi

Tall blue aliens

Na'vi refers to the fictional indigenous people of the moon Pandora in James Cameron's *Avatar* films, or to their constructed language.

The Na'vi are tall, blue-skinned humanoids who live in harmony with their world's ecosystem.

The Na'vi language was developed by linguist Paul Frommer with its own grammar and vocabulary: She learned to speak Na'vi fluently.
