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? David
