This page tries to gather all spoken Na'vi from the Avatar film. Please keep in mind, that the transcription work was done through community effort (see sources). This article does neither claim to be complete nor correct Na'vi. It is primarily based on good guesses and the pronunciation of the voice actors in multiple language versions of the film, rather than textual sources.
Notes: Na'vi terms surrounded by double parentheses mark fragments that are incomprehensible or unclear for syntactic or semantic reasons. English translations were taken from subtitles where available.
