Aukipi is a constructed language used throughout the park with some vocabulary borrowed from Pacific Islander and Asian languages. Similar in concept to Disney's usage of Marabic and Aurebesh scripts in their Indiana Jones and Star Wars attractions or the use of the Na'vi language in Pandora, it is used a means of hiding messages in various parts of the park, is peppered into character dialog and generally providing extra worldbuilding texture, with the park selling pocket dictionaries to assist in translation.

Aukipi visually occurs in the park in both a romanized form and its own runic script, which omits the letters C, F, J, Q, X, and S. Each of the five realms has an Aukipi proverb or Realm Motto associated with it, which is either written out on a landmark or can be taught to you by a character.

Realm Mottos

  • Tamariki
    • Enlamo zuz, oragi tempiko lamo - "Do good together, live well forever"
  • Udara (partially written out on the glider in the Skyborne queue)
    • Utoko + Tago = Lumaragi - "Knowledge + Wisdom = Enlightenment"
  • Awa (written on the Akua Maze fountain)
    • Kuto na'hiawa me umo kinope - "Respect the sea and let the current guide you"
  • Yuta (written on Pengali Ruins)
    • Ingata yuta, ingata ezuz - "Preserve the earth, preserve ourselves"
  • Mura
    • Zu'ula ga mako vakat ai mura - "Strength and courage are forged in fire
