This is why they speak English in “Avatar: The Way of Water” and not the language of the Na’vi

After the premiere ofAvatar: The Way of Water’, some fans have pointed out as a script error that the characters always speak in English (or Spanish, depending on the dub), however the story justifies it almost at the beginning of the plot, and it’s the same Jake Sully who explains it

In “Avatar: The Way of Water” all the time the characters speak in the language of the Na’via fictional language created for this film franchise by James Cameron, which does not exist in real life but is part of one of the creations of the amazing and colorful world of Pandora to bring an original universe to the big screen.

However, the most important detail of this sequel, to understand because the Na’vi always speak Englishis that almost the entire story is narrated from beginning to end by Jake Sully, and at the beginning of the film he explains that after raising a family for a few years, he has 100% learned the language of his city.

In “Avatar: The Way of Water”, particularly in the beginning, when Jake Sully recounts his life after the end of the first film, he says that over the years he has learned to speak and listen fluently in the Na’vi language, to the point that now he can identify it as if it were English, his mother tongue, and as if that weren’t enough, there is a short scene that serves to justify Why does everyone on Pandora speak English?.

so everything The characters in “Avatar: The Way of Water” speak Na’vibut since everything is seen from Jake Sully’s point of view, it is as if the same filter that he has is applied to understand the language as if it were English, which is why there are some moments where you hear the protagonists speak in the language of the natives of Pandora.

The English language in “Avatar: The Way of Water” is not a script hole

Some users on social networks have pointed out that the fact that the Na’vi speak English in the sequel to ‘Avatars’ is not justified but the truth is that it is, although this reason explained above doesn’t really apply to the whole film as there are some moments where Jake Sully is not present to narrate the story, for example with the Colonel’s case Miles Quaritch and everything to do with characters not native to Pandora, who speak English.

That’s why when Quaritch attacks other Metkayina Islands, they don’t understand English, or when the Colonel first confronts Jake and Neytiri’s children, they speak the Na’vi language, though they later switch to English. , it is to be expected that the Sully family is bilingual as are Americans who have parents from Mexico and Latin America.
