Film script
A portion of the script of Jake, the human protagonist in the film Avatar, is visible in a short documentary on the making of the film. Three minutes in, there's a close-up of a page of Jake's Na'vi dialog, "Naʼvi Dialog for Jake—3-13-2007", reproduced here. Stress is marked by underlining. Since the dialog is Jake's, it is likely that some of the Naʼvi may be ungrammatical.


 * Oel nga ti ka meie, ma Tsmu kan, ulte nga ru seiyi i re iyo.
 * I See you Brother, and thank you.


 * oe-ìl ||nga-ti ||kam‹ei›e ||ma ||tsmuk-an ||ulte ||nga-ru ||s‹ei›i ||ireiyo

 * }

Jake's speech near the end of the movie, which Tsu'tey translated, is as follows. It was cut in places for the timing of the film, so it does not completely follow the English:


 * Fpoleʼ sawtutel ʼupxaret
 * The sky people have sent us a message


 * [san] Ayoeri tsat new
 * tsun mivunge [sìk].
 * that they can take whatever they want [and no-one can stop them].


 * Slä awngal 'upxaret fpìye' for.
 * But we will send them a message.


 * Kämakto nìwin, ayngati spivule hufwel.
 * You ride out [as] fast [as] the wind can carry you.


 * Ayolo'ru alahe peng ziva'u.
 * You tell the other clans to come.


 * For peng syeraw Toruk Makto.
 * You tell them toruk-makto calls [to them].


 * Tswayon set oehu,
 * You fly now, with me,


 * ma smukan, ma smuke!
 * brothers, sisters!


 * sawtuter wìyintxu ayoeng
 * and we will show the sky people


 * ke tsun fo fìkem sivi
 * [that] they cannot take whatever they want [cannot do this]


 * fìtsenge
 * [and that] this


 * l(u) awngeyä!
 * [this] is our [land]!

A few other lines of the film have been confirmed, including some which did not make it into the final cut:


 * Grace: Tsun tivam. Aylìʼu ngian nì'it skepek lu.
 * "Not bad. You sound a little formal."


 * Tsuʼtey: Fayvrrtep fìtsenge lu kxanì.
 * "These demons are forbidden here."


 * child: Txopu räʼä si, lu ketuwongo nìʼaw.
 * "Don't be afraid, it's just some alien."


 * ʼÌʼawn alìm!
 * "Stay back!"


 * Moʼat: Fìketuwongti oel stìyeftxaw.
 * "I will look at this alien." (stìsyeftxaw would also be appropriate here)


 * Yola krr, txana krr, ke tsranten.
 * "It doesn't matter how long it takes."


 * Pori zene kllfrivoʼ nga.
 * "He is your responsibility."


 * Eytukan: Tsampongut Tsuʼteyìl iveyk.
 * "Tsuʼtey will lead the war party."


 * chant:  Srung si po e ru, ma Ey wa!
 * "Help her, Gaea!"


 * Moʼat: Tivìran po ayoekip.
 * "Let her walk among us."


 * Lu hasey.
 * "It is finished."

There have been several attempts at working out the rest of the script. Some of these are summarized at LeanNavi.org here. They likely include numerous errors.

Songs
Frommer translated four of Cameron's songs into Na'vi. The Hunting Song is in the next section; here are the other three.

Weaving Song

Spoken texts
There are four online recordings of Frommer speaking extended amounts of Naʼvi.

Short dialog


Half-way down the article is a sound recording of a short conversation, with English subtitles. The Naʼvi is not documented; what follows likely contains some errors. Unintelligible segments are marked with ((double parentheses)).


 * Oel hu Txewì trram naʼrìngit tarmok.
 * Yesterday I was with Txewì in the forest 


 * Tsoleʼa syeptutet atsawl frato mì sìrey.
 * and we saw the biggest Trapper I've ever seen.


 * ((L))u fo l((e))hrrap
 * Those things are dangerous.


 * Tsun tutet tspivang ko
 * They can kill a person, you know.


 * Oe ((o))mum.
 * I know.


 * Nari soli ayoe [moe] fteke nìhawng livok.
 * We were careful not to get too close.

Glossary:

Trram yesterday, naʼrìng a forest, tok to occupy (a place)

Tseʼa to see, syep to trap, tute a person, tsawl big, tìrey life

Hrrap danger, tspang to kill, omum to know

Nari si to pay attention, fteke lest, hawng excessive, lok approach

My friends,

''On this important day—Earth Day—I want to say hello to you and present to you the word that, in my opinion, is the most beautiful in the Naʼvi language: meoauniaea. The meaning of this word is “harmony, living in the world as part of the Great Mother,” something that matters a lot to all of us for the sake of The Balance of Life on both Pandora and Earth.''

''My apologies: As you know, in recent days I have not had sufficient opportunity to work on our language. But I have some good news. My teaching responsibilities will soon end; after that I will have more time to create words and the kinds of lessons that can help everyone best learn and remember.''

In the meantime, I thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy today's celebration.

Goodbye and Eywa be with you.

From Paul
