	Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing (often "syllabics" for short) is, despite its name, a family of alphabets (specifically, abugidas) used to write a number of Aboriginal Canadian languages of the Algonquian, Athabaskan, and Inuit language families.
		Canadian syllabics are presently used to write all of the Cree dialects from Naskapi (spoken in Quebec) to the Rocky Mountains, including Eastern Cree, James Bay Cree, Swampy Cree and Plains Cree.
		Canadian syllabic writing schemes are for the most part abugidas, where consonants are always marked in a manner which implies a specific vowel.

		Canadian aboriginal syllabic writing (often "syllabics" for short) is a family of writing schemes which are used to write a number of aboriginal Canadian languages from the Algonquian, Athabaskan and Inuit language families.
		Canadian syllabics are presently used to write all of the Cree dialects from Naskapi (spoken in Quebec) west to the Rocky Mountains, including Eastern Cree, James Bay Cree, Swampy Cree and Plains Cree.
		Syllabics are occasionally used in the United States by Native communities that straddle the border, but are principally a Canadian phenomena.

		The first writing system was cuneiform, which emerged among the Sumerians towards the end of the 4th millennium BC; however it was followed closely by the appearance of writing in Egypt and the Indus valley, and since then writing has appeared independently a number of times, associated with various civilizations.
		As languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language.
		Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics can be considered an abugidas, although they are rarely thought of in those terms.

	WRITING SYSTEM FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Writing systems are distinguished from other possible symbolic communication systems in that one must usually understand something of the associated language in order to successfully read and comprehend the text.
		Writing systems are conceptual_systems, as are the languages to which they refer.
		Writing systems may be regarded as ''complete'' according to the extent to which they are able to represent all that may be expressed in the spoken language.

	2002-11: Repertoire Expansion in the Universal Character Set for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics
		The impetus behind this proposal is based on a current difficulty in Canadian cataloging--the use of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (CAS), which is a writing system used for the Cree and Inuktitut languages.
		CAS was first used for the writing of Cree and Ojibwe and was adapted later by others for writing the Inuit language (Inuktitut).

	Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics
		The Cree syllabary was developed as a writing system for the Cree language in the mid-1800s by James Evans.
		It is part of a system of syllabic writing schemes which are grouped together in the Unicode standard as Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics.
		Other missionaries, and later linguists in the employ of the Canadian and American governments, adapted the Latin alphabet to the dialects of the Mackenzie River delta, the western Arctic islands and Alaska.

		Writing may refer to two activities: the inscribing of characters on a medium, with the intention of forming words and other constructs that represent language or record information, and the creation of material to be conveyed through written language.
		Writing systems, i.e., methods of inscription, can be broadly divided into four categories: logographic, syllabic, alphabetic, and featural.
		Writing was often used to record all types of information in tombs, temples, the army and in government.

	Universal Syllabic Translator - Introduction
		If they (the native people) need to write a text in aboriginal language or a dialect, write a text in the transliteration in "Roman character orthography", instead of using aboriginal syllabic glyphs, because it is easier, and no knowledge of syllabic glyphs is necessary.
		Writing with this standardized and unified font is very limited to use main dialects of aboriginal language.
		Writing in local dialects using an unique selection of different syllabic signs, cannot be realized and is practically impossible write online or use it in the web page.

		The core of the script now known as "Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics" was first conceived in the mind of one James Evans in the early 1800s.
		One legend has the writing system given to both a western and eastern elder simultaneously as a gift from the Great Spirit, and another has a single Blackfoot family shunned by the community out of distrust with their ability to write.

		The study of writing systems has developed along more-or-less independent lines in the examination of individual scripts, and as such the terminology employed differs somewhat from field to field.
		Similarly, it is disputed whether the so-called Old European script of the late neolithic should be considered a sort of proto-writing-system, or whether it was purely ornamental.
		The pre-Columbian writing systems of the Americas (including at least Mayan and Aztec) are also believed to have evolved independently.

	2002-DP06: Repertoire Expansion in the Universal Character Set for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics
		The desirability of eventual expansion in a UCS framework, however, was recognized even when DP73 was written, and repeated in Proposal 98-18 (section 1.1), which considered the restriction temporary until expansion proposals were prepared and approved.
		The impetus behind this discussion paper is based on a current difficulty in Canadian cataloging--the use of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (CAS), which is a writing system used for the Cree and Inuktitut languages.
		The adoption of the expanded CAS set is required based on whatever policy decision is made by a particular library about the use of Model A (transliteration plus parallel vernacular 880 fields) or Model B (simple multiscript records with no parallel fields) for multiscript records.

		While most languages don't use wholly logographic writing systems, many languages use some logograms.
		To write English using a syllabary, every possible syllable in English would have to have a separate symbol, and whereas the number of possible syllables in Japanese is no more than 100 or so, in English there are many thousands.
		Many East Asian scripts, such as Chinese and Japanese, are written top-to-bottom, from the right to the left of the page.

		As an indication of its growing importance as a cultural resource, TVNC recently made a submission to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (the equivalent of the Australian Broadcasting Authority) for it to allocate 25% of a proposed Canadian program fund for the sole use of developing Canadian Aboriginal television programming (Television Northern Canada 15).
		Canadians Lorna Roth and Gail Valaskakis argue that the most interesting broadcasting developments in their country are taking place regionally and locally in Native communities, contributing to the distinctiveness and democratisation of Canadian broadcasting.
		Thus the Inuit are able to appropriate square dancing, the mouth harp and the accordian, trapping, the Christian Church, syllabic writing etc as aspects of their own culture and label it "traditional".
