That’s a pretty wild thing to make a language out of, but having heard it, Firish definitely has exactly the elements (sorry) you’d expect from a language based around fire. In an April 2023 interview with Gizmodo, director Peter Sohn said, “David Peterson, who did ‘Game of Thrones,’ and [his] amazing brilliant team tried taking fireplace sound effects and [making] a language out of it.” Sohn told Yahoo at an early press event at Pixar in Emeryville, CA, about the original plan for the characters, and why they brought Peterson in. He said:
“When we first started adding fire sound effects to the characters, it just didn’t sound like a performance. And so they came up with this language again, based on what we knew from fire.”
Our own Ethan Anderton’s report from the event revealed that there was originally even more of the Firish language in the film, though it was cut down a bit. If you’re interested in his techniques, Peterson has a YouTube channel where he speaks about creating languages.
Part of the “Elemental” story involves Ember’s parents not wanting her to be with someone from another element, like her new Water friend Wade Ripple (Mamoudou Athie). Having a separate language and Fire Town as a haven for Fire people serves to reinforce the separation, and the reasons why Bernie and Cinder have these feelings in the first place.
