I saw it just recently myself. Has somewhat of a Japanese ring to my ear,
but was supposedly developed by Marc Okrand from IE roots. Okrand claims
that he created about 700-1000 words, a script and a rudimentary grammar.
There is even supposed to be a training video (ala Berlitz) for the cast.
Has anyone found anything on the web about Atlantean?
