Welcome to the brand new Kelutral!
zola'u nìprrte' ne kelutral amip!
Welcome to Kelutral.org, an all-inclusive place to learn the Na'vi Language and meet other fans of James Cameron's AVATAR, , we are glad you are here! We recently had a facelift, so if you notice anything out of sorts, contact us.
(ˈkɛl.ut.ɾal) means "Hometree" in Na'vi, and that's exactly what Kelutral.org is: a living, growing home for the James Cameron's AVATAR community, where fans of all stripes can make lifelong friends!
The first question most fans ask us is "how to learn Na'vi", so we've put together this welcome guide on how to get started learning Na'vi.
What is the Na'vi Language?
peu lì'fya lena'vi lu?
Na'vi is the language spoken by the Na'vi people on the moon of Pandora. It is a constructed language, created for use in the 2009 film AVATAR, directed and produced by James Cameron. Since the film's release, the Na'vi language has been growing and expanding due to continuous work by eager fans and the language's creator, USC Professor Paul Frommer.
The Na'vi language is one of few organic constructed languages, with an active speaker base from around the world that continually influences and shapes the course of Na'vi's growth. If you want to be a part of this speaker-base, learn how to speak Na'vi with us on Discord!

Of course! For those invested in learning it, Na'vi is a fully-functional language with its own phonetics, grammar, and an ever-expanding lexicon. Na'vi can be learned like any other language, fictional or natural, and the community constantly produces new content and resources to aid in the learning process. Like learning any language, learning Na'vi is a process and can be accomplished with time, effort, and dedication.
How can I learn the Na'vi language?

There are several different avenues available to newcomers who want to learn Na'vi. Kelutral.org is proud to present an exclusive collection of lessons called the Na'vi Survival Guide, a first-of-its-kind interactive Na'vi lesson series designed to provide evergreen lessons and practice to Na'vi language learners who don't have time for live lessons. If you already have experience with language learning and are looking for grammatical rules and references, visit our resources section. The Na'vi and AVATAR language community also has a population of speakers who actively teach the language to interested individuals. The Kelutral Discord server is a hub for community projects and lessons that is easily accessible from a browser or free phone app.
