Zhilikam t'°Avuhtar° |Vath'kisu|

Vulcans of all ages have long had a fascination with the multimedia works of other worlds. The Avatar® series of films from Earth in the 21st Century have a hold on people across the Federation. The Avatar® films by James Cameron and crew are avidly watched and discussed by Vulcans, Andorians, Denobulans and peoples of jungle planets, especially those who have had to resist invaders in the past.

Below you will find a sampling of vocabulary that you may find associated with the Avatar® films. (Names are listed in pure alphabetical order by title, first name then last name, since names are sorted using the Vulcan standard here.)
