	Inuktitut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inuktitut (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ, literally "like the Inuit") is the name of the varieties of Inuit language spoken in Canada.
		Inuktitut, like other Eskimo-Aleut languages, has a very rich morphological system, in which a succession of different morphemes are added to root words to indicate things that, in languages like English, would require serveral words to express.
		The Inuktitut syllabary used in Canada is based on the Cree syllabary devised by the missionary James Evans.

	Encyclopedia: Inuktitut
		Specifically, Inuktitut is the dialect of the Inuit of the Canadian Eastern Arctic.
		Inuktitut, like other Eskimo-Aleut languages, represents a particular type of agglutinative language called a polysynthetic language: it "synthesizes" a root and various grammatical morphemes to create long words with sentence-like meanings.
		The Inuktitut syllabary used in Canada is based on the Cree syllabary, which is in turn based on that of Ojibwe.

		This fourth vowel variant of the official syllabary was initially removed so that Inuktitut could be typed and printed using IBM Selectric balls in the 1970s.
		In most of Nunavut and in northern Quebec, Inuktitut is written using the Inuktitut syllabary.
		Because the Inuktitut language is a continuum of only partially intercomprehensible dialects, the language varies a great deal across the Arctic.

		Inuktitut is the major language of the Circumpolar region stretching from Alaska to Greenland.
		The Government of Nunavut is committed to making Inuktitut the language of work and for it to be taught throughout the primary and secondary curricula.
		The challenge lies in the fact that Inuktitut is a polysynthetic, agglutinative language, meaning that words are very long and are made by gluing meaning fragments together.

	Inuktitut Sylabics
		How this situation came about is fascinating, especially when the history of Inuktitut syllabics is put into the perspective of the evolution of written language in general.
		Sadly, the Inuktitut language has fallen into considerable decline where syllabics are not used (with the lone exception of Greenland).
		Other significant Inuktitut syllabic projects are underway, notably the Pigiarniq font, the Evans revival project initiated by the territorial government of Nunavut, and the AiPai Typing Tutor software project initiated by the Kativik School Board.

		Although myth has it that there are 100 ways of saying the word "snow" in Inuktitut, there is in fact only one word for it: aput.
		First of all, because of the properties of Inuktitut, it is difficult to distinguish what in English might be called a "word" and what might be called a "phrase".
		While I am not an expert in Inuktitut, I maintain that the orginal "one word for snow" statement was correct.

		The earliest attempts to develop an orthography for the Inuktitut language were the attempts by Lutheran ministers to develop a written form for Greenlandic.
		In Inuktitut, the terms "long" and "short," as applied to vowels, describe the relative length of time that the same sound is held, so that, for example, "inuk" has a "short u" sound but "inuuk" a "long u" sound.
		With the spread of secular literature in Inuktitut syllabics, it became apparent to government officials and to many Inuit that there existed a need for orthographic reform in Inuktitut, to enable all Inuit to write using the same consistent orthography.
