| | Inuktitut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Nunavut is the home of some 24,000 Inuit, most of whom - over 80% according to the 2001 census - speak Inuktitut, including some 3,500 people reported as monolinguals. | | | Although Nunatsiavut claims over 4,000 inhabitants of Inuit descent, only 550 reported Inuktitut to be their mother tongue in the 2001 census, mostly in the town of Nain. | | | Inuktitut has is written in several different ways, depending on the dialect and region, but also on historical and political factors. |

| | Proposed pDAM for Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics |
| | This arrangement is convenient and consistent with the historical diffusion of Syllabics writing, and of course does not imply any other sort of hierarchy. | | | Algonquian variants appear first, then Inuktitut variants, then Athapascan variants. | | | Since a number of the Athapascan and Inuktitut groups have dual writing systems, Syllabics and Latin orthographies, transliteration between Syllabics and Latin scripts is a common occurrence, especially for legal and government documents. |

Now, he says, it's possible to guarantee that anybody with a computer and Internet access can read and print syllabics from Inuktitut web sites. | | | This allows people to type and print syllabics, and copy and paste syllabics from different programs. |

| | Inuktitut is an Eskimo-Aleut language spoken across the entire northern span of North America, forming what is called a linguistic chain--each dialect is easily mutually intelligible with its neighbors, but not with dialects further away. | | | Would you like to help support our organization's work with indigenous American languages? | | | For practical purposes, linguistic chains are treated as a single language, and so the Alaskan dialects Inupiaq and Inupiatun, the Eastern and Western Inuktitut languages of Canada, and Greenlandic are all classified together. |
