Two orthographies are maintained in different contexts.  Signage on Pandora is in the Na'vi-writing style (distinguished by its use of '''x''' for ejective-consonants) while human beings continue to text and chat in European-style (distinguished the use of '''ñ''' for the velar nasal).  This is current area of debate, and we will present both styles in this section, in an effort to remain unbiased.  However, throughout the rest of this document, the Na'vi-style will be used, as it was originally laid out by the ALE.

<poem style="font-style: italic">
Our Father, who stands in the Heaven,
May you sanctify your name;
May your kingdom arrive,
May your will be done,
Just as in the Heaven, so in the World,
Give us today our bread of the day,
and as for us, forgive the debts,
Just as we forgive the debtors,
and induct us not into all temptation,
but from us from the evil one.
Amen.
