This is a fictitious language used in the 2007 movie Arrival. In its title, "zohioliin" means long time and "duu" means return. "Tatah" translates to father. In this post, we discuss the finer points of zohioliin duu tatah and why it's an important part of Arrival's plot. As we know, in Arrival, aliens have landed on earth and it is up to Dr. Louise Banks and the military to communicate with the aliens in order to find out why they've come. The problem is, we aren't sure how. Dr. Banks and the military come across a series of circular symbols that appear related to what the aliens are trying to say. In our post here, we discussed these symbols and how they could be successfully interpreted using SignWriting. In this post, we want to look at another symbol from Arrival that appears after a short time of discovery/deception with Dr. Banks and Colonel Weber: a spiral symbol patterned after a human ear canal (pictured left). Now, the spiral symbol appears at several points throughout Arrival's plot, but at its most important appearance, it is embedded in a sentence by Louise Banks while she is speaking to Ian Donnelly. It occurs after the following point in the movie where aliens had landed on earth and Dr. Banks had met with them for some time. "One of the things I love about linguistics is that it's a science, but it has no idea how to be rigorous about its own discoveries." "The physical part of our brain that interprets sound is wired up very simply." "We can tell frequencies apart that are assymetric with each other. We can tell a difference between a sound that is loud and a sound that is soft." "It's completely wired up which suggests that if we're going to communicate with another cognitive being, there's going to be some kind of parallel between our two brains." At this point in the movie, it is revealed that the aliens are able to telepathically communicate with people. It is at this point where Louise Banks begins to understand what the aliens are doing. She reveals that she now knows what the spiral symbol means. The credits then roll as different symbols appear briefly on screen. One of which was our spiral symbol patterned after an ear canal (pictured above). In Arrival, the spiral symbol appears several times after this revelation. It appears shortly after another more important revelation. At this point in the movie, Dr. Banks had discovered that the aliens are able to literally control the thoughts of people on earth via telepathy. She is also able to see images of alien ships flying over earth's surface. Now, at this point in the movie after understanding what she knows about what she has seen, Dr. Banks turns to her former student who is now working as an FBI agent and says: "You'll be okay. cfa1e77820
