It had to be realistically learnable by the fictional human characters of the film and pronounceable by the actors, but also not closely resemble any single human language. In , while the film was still in scriptment form, Cameron felt it needed a complete, consistent language for the alien characters to speak. He had written approximately thirty words for this alien language but wanted a linguist to create the language in full. His production company, Lightstorm Entertainment , contacted the linguistics department at the University of Southern California seeking someone who would be interested in creating such a language. Edward Finegan, a professor of linguistics at USC, thought that the project would appeal to Paul Frommer, with whom he had co-authored a linguistics textbook, and so forwarded Lightstorm's inquiry on to him. Frommer and Cameron met to discuss the director's vision for the language and its use in the film; at the end of the meeting, Cameron shook Frommer's hand and said "Welcome aboard. Based on Cameron's initial list of words, which had a " Polynesian flavor" according to Frommer, [4] the linguist developed three different sets of meaningless words and phrases that conveyed a sense of what an alien language might sound like: one using contrasting tones , one using varying vowel lengths , and one using ejective consonants. Of the three, Cameron liked the sound of the ejectives most.
