It'd be pretty sick if we could pull it off

...no more than Tolkien Elvish or Kligon is considered a real language.

Not sure about elvish, but Klingon is.
You can get Google in Klingon and it has an ISO 639 code (tlh - tlhIngan Hol (name of the language in Klingon)). It has fluent speakers other than Marc Okrand (to Klingon what Paul Frommer is to Na'vi). It is 26 years old as a formal language (Klingon from the original series and early movies was different and didn't have any real rules that could be learned) but development has been slower than Na'vi really.

I see more potential in Na'vi... Certainly, with my attempt to learn Klingon, Na'vi is a much easier language, and has exposure to a much wider fanbase.

...um. Star Trek has a fandom going back over forty years. Lord of the Rings has been out since 1954. Avatar has been out less than a year. Fanbase-wise, I'm not sure it can actually compete. Nor can it said to appeal to a WIDER fanbase - that takes time, if nothing else.
