Transcript
00:00 (dramatic music)
00:02 - Tola is our made up language,
00:07 brilliantly created for the film.
00:10 - We brought in a languages expert
00:11 to invent a language that takes parts of Basque,
00:14 takes parts of Sanskrit, takes parts of Arabic.
00:17 - It's very well developed.
00:19 There's lots of different words and tenses and things.
00:21 - It sounds very, very different to most Western languages.
00:26 (speaking in foreign language)
00:28 - When you first read it, it's a little bit mind blowing,
00:31 but you kind of get into the flow of it.
00:33 - But once I've sort of got to grips with it,
00:35 I love speaking in Tola.
00:36 So any scene where we get to bounce around
00:38 and throw this wonderful language about,
00:39 I very much enjoy.
00:41 (speaking in foreign language)
00:43 - But it's good to use as well because the cast know it,
00:46 and some lines are really, really good.
00:47 So you're like, "I like ud!"
00:48 It's shut up, so it's nice having that private little
00:51 language between the cast that we can use and nobody knows.

00:56 - I like ud!
