<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Malgun Gothic",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:KO">Yes, the “indigenous” language featured in the film is solely constructed for the film. And the film plot does indeed have some fantasy-like features in it. But
overall, I would say that the film left me many thoughts on fieldwork (e. g. the relationship between the linguist and the native speakers), language endangerment (e. g. the experience of the last speakers of a dying language), and human language in general.
Although I haven’t watched Avatar yet, I would imagine that this film is has a more “realistic” background than Avatar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
Yesterday, I watched a Dutch-Mexican film "I dream in another language (Sueño en otro idioma)", which is about a dying language of Mexico. I would recommend it to all typologists and those doing fieldwork on minority languages, as the film is truly touching
and inspiring, especially to us linguists.<br>
