All the clans of Pandora believe in a shared consciousness through the life force called Eywa, who protects their delicate ecosystem through mutual communication. Avatar: The Way of Water may explain that to give the Na'vi a fighting chance against the humans, Eywa taught English to all the Na'vi clans.
Many of the Na'vi learned to speak English from Grace Augustine's school. Among these former students are: Neytiri, Mo'at, Tan Jala and Tsu'tey. The RDA employs several xenolinguists on Pandora. When humanity first arrived on the moon, it was necessary to establish diplomatic relations with the Na'vi.
The Naʼvi language (Naʼvi: Lìʼfya leNaʼvi) is a fictional constructed language originally made for the 2009 film Avatar. In the film franchise, the language is spoken by the Naʼvi, a race of sapient humanoids indigenous to the extraterrestrial moon Pandora.
In-universe, the explanation is that there exists a ubiquitous device called a “universal translator” that is so small that it's invisible and yet all alien races have the technology. Oddly, somehow it also makes everyone lip-synch quite perfectly.
At Grace's school, Neytiri and Sylwanin learn to speak English, being regarded as the “top students”, but the school is attacked and Sylwanin is shot and killed. This strains the human's relationship between the Na'vi, who ban them from their land.
Avatar: The Way of Water - How It Should Have Ended
How old is Neytiri in Navi Years?
For one, even if Neytiri is 18 in human years, she's the Na'vi equivalent of a human in their early-to-mid-twenties. This is proven in three different ways: James Cameron has stated that Jake's avatar body is around 17 human years old.
Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan, or Neteyam, is a major character in the Avatar franchise, serving as one of the main characters in Avatar: The Way of Water. He is the 15-year-old eldest son of Jake Sully and Neytiri, who is also the older brother of Lo'ak, Tuktirey, and Kiri.
Interesting question. It saves a lot of money for the movie producers from creating an alien language which no one on earth would understand and then put English subtitles in the movie for the audience.
Language changes so quickly that by the time any two peoples have diverged their dialects have also diverged. This is because most of human language is not "hard-wired" into our genetic makeup, but is developed instinctively by language-learning mechanisms that are hard-wired.
History. The use of English in the United States is a result of British colonization of the Americas. The first wave of English-speaking settlers arrived in North America during the early 17th century, followed by further migrations in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Na'vi are monogamous creatures and the process of their reproduction is similar to Terran mammals, as they do possess genitalia; however, though they nurse their young and possess belly buttons where they were once connected to an umbilical cord, the Na'vi are non-placental, thus the details of their internal biology ...
In Avatar, the Na'vi are an indigenous species that live on Pandora. They are humanoid in appearance and are 9 to 10 feet (2.7 to 3.0 m) tall, having pairs of eyes, ears, arms, legs and feet like humans, as well as a nose, a mouth, and expressions recognizable to humans.
Later, Neytiri became Grace's student at the established school and learned to speak English; she was considered to be Grace's "best student" along with her sister, Sylwanin.
Dr. Paul Frommer, a professor with a PhD in linguistics from the University of Southern California, created the Na'vi language in 2005 for the first Avatar. He based it in part on Polynesian languages, and a dozen or so words crafted by Cameron.
However, after the tragedy of Sylwanin's death at the hands of the RDA, Neytiri was forced to assume her deceased sister's duties including her impending betrothal to the olo'eytakan in training, Tsu'tey.
Like Latin or Greek at the time, English has become the world's common language. It is the default language in international business, tourism, technology, and much more.
It's unlikely that we'll see a world that speaks one language any time soon. Protecting each individual countries' cultures is a huge barrier, but an important one to ensure our world is as beautifully diverse as it's always been.
One comical theory is that one of the magical stones in Thanos' possession is the Rosetta Stone. Some fans even believed he learned English once he recognized the Avengers as worthy foes. The simplest answer is that it doesn't matter, because it's just a movie.
The accent was taught in acting schools and was considered to be a sign of sophistication and education. It was used by actors in the Golden Age of Hollywood and by American aristocrats, especially in the Northeastern United States.
The first is isolation; early colonists had only sporadic contact with the mother country. The second is exposure to other languages, and the colonists came into contact with Native American languages, mariners' Indian English pidgin and other settlers, who spoke Dutch, Swedish, French and Spanish.
Lo'ak is the fourteen-year-old son of Jake Sully and Neytiri, and one of the main protagonist of “Avatar: The Way of Water”. His rebellious spirit is portrayed by his outfits, garments and hair.
In Cameron's script she's introduced with the descriptor "in human age she would be 18," but that raises as many questions as it answers. As with the math that leads to Jake being 28, Neytiri's birth in the Earth calendar year 2136 and the film's setting in 2154 add up to make her 18, but that's by Earth standards.
