Why Does Everyone Spell It "Tsahaylu"?
 

it's tsaheylu!!
with an E
tsahaylu would be pronounced sah-high-lu
dammit, read the na'vi dictionary

Na'vi is a relatively new language, so things are constantly changing. While it was spelled "Tsahaylu" in the theatrical release, it is now spelled "Tsaheylu" in the DVD/Blu-ray release. Also, last I checked, LearnNavi.org has it spelled "Tsahaylu" in their vocabulary.

ummm ... I guess it's spelled tsahEylu, cuz Na'vi isn't based in english pronounciation ... so we got to know they way it's pronounced thanks to Neytiri :D and she clearly said, "Tsaheylu"

I'm sticking with the A, just like I'm sticking with the K in makto.

Way to be a rebel, Dev. ;)

cause thats how most people think it sounds.

and it looks better.
but Na'vi isn't a written language...

We spell it Tsahaylu because its spelled that way in the Survival Guide.....which to me makes that spelling the correct spelling.

Tsaheylu and Macto but lol, no need to be cussing about it ma tsmukan

What dictionary do you use? Because the only official dictionary I know of is the Survival Guide....and maybe you need to read that?
Ps the Na'vi language doesn't follow our rules for all we know something coule be spelled Txanten and be pronounced "Santen" or something crazy XD Spelling and pronounciation have nothing to do with eachother.

And am I the only one who noticed that we pronounce Hay and Hey the same way? Just a thought.
Also why in the world would an A make an I sound? Why would it be Ah-high-lu? We never pronounce an A as an I.

I think people call it Tsahaylu since the ITsahaylu sig thing was made..
I normally call it Tsaheylu :)

yay ! *high fours Pa'li* tsahEylu FTW ! :D !

About "Txanten" , in Na'vi the "x" is pronounced like a click ... so it'd be like T'anten :P Im not the best at Na'vi but im tryin to do my best :D

haha i know i was just trying to s how how weird the na'vi language is XD

Indeed, it's really strange :D but at the same time is really funny to learn :P

Totally XD

I think you've sorted that out now, but just for your knowing, the word at first was spelled tsahAylu, so this is why it's like that in the "survial guide", but now it has changed to tsahEylu. It's nomal, for example words like kxener and kì'ong which at first were some fruits or somethin',were changed to smoke and slow respectively.:)
