Audio recited by Na'vi's creator
Translator: Dr Paul Frommer
From: Los Angeles, CA

Na'vi was created by Dr Frommer for the lovely blue aliens in the 2009 movie, Avatar. It is intended to sound both alien and pleasant. Words that needed to be added to the lexicon for a Na'vi seder were: hametsì: 'hametz'; matsa: 'matzah'; yemfpay: 'dipping, immersion'; fkxen: 'food of vegetable (as opposed to animal) origin'; pxim: 'erect, straight up and down'; tuvon: 'to lean'; and 'eoio: 'ceremonious'.

Translator: Cantor Daniel Singer Audio Sample of the Sandorian translation
From: New York, NY

Many individuals have created artificial/constructed languages. One finalist in the reknowned Westinghouse Science Talent Search (now sponsored by Intel) had created one, and spoke it nearly exclusively, much to the annoyance of his co-finalists.

The artificial language Sandorian originated in 1986-1987 at the hands of Brett Quist and Alex Sandor, after an early fascination with homespun codes. Sandorian was born after its eponymous inventor became enchanted with the Cyrillic alphabet. Sandor began scrawling his own oddly shaped characters and assigned sounds. Sandor and Quist soon were creating secret naughty words using the alphabet. During the Sandorian Renaissance (c. 1989-1994), a dictionary was developed, along with writing rules, an elaborate grammar and eloquent yet charming Haikus. When Daniel Singer began his study of Sandorian in 1992, it had truly become a vibrant, living language. Daniel, Brett and Alex relied almost exclusively on Sandorian to communicate with each other at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. Also during the 1980s, the "Nation of Ventnor" briefly claimed its independence from the USA. The language fell into disuse when its three fluent speakers moved to three different states. This Four Questions translation is the first published communication in Sandorian.
