	Inuktitut writing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greenland, Alaska, Labrador, the Mackenzie River delta in the Northwest Territories and in part of Nunavut, it is written with the Roman alphabet.
		In the 1870's, Edmund Peck, an Anglican missionary adapted the Cree syllabary to Inuktitut.

	Alphabet - Wikipedia
		An alphabet is a small set of letters--basic written symbols--each of which roughly represents or represented historically a phoneme of a spoken language.
		In a perfectly phonological alphabet, the phonemes and letters would correspond perfectly in two directions: a writer could predict the spelling of a word given its pronunciation, and a speaker could predict the pronunciation of a word given its spelling.
		The first alphabet was probably developed by the Canaanites around 1700-1500 BC (see early Semitic alphabet), and nearly all subsequent alphabets are derived from it or inspired by it, directly or indirectly.

	Inuktitut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inuktitut (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ (fonts required), 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 several words to express.
		The Inuktitut syllabary used in Canada is based on the Cree syllabary devised by the missionary James Evans.

	Inuktitut syllabics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Inuktitut syllabary (Inuktitut: titirausiq nutaaq) is a writing system used by Inuit people in Nunavut and in Nunavik, Quebec.
		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.
		At present, Inuktitut syllabics enjoy official status in Nunavut, alongside the Latin alphabet, and are used by the Kativik Regional Government of Nunavik, Quebec.

		He prepared a few based on their pronunciation of Inuktitut, but it quickly became obvious that the number of basic sounds and the simple model of the syllable in the Evans system was inadequate to the language.
		However, the Inuktitut syllables "á•¿", "á—", "á—", "á—", "á—‘", "á—“" and the Naskapi syllables "á”", "á”", "á”" and "á”" should not be mistaken for syllables preceded by finals.
		Originally the Cree /e/-series vowel position was used in Inuktitut to indicate the common diphthong /ai/, but this was officially dropped in the 1960s so that Inuktitut wouldnât have more characters than could be moulded onto an IBM Selectric typewriter ball.

		Inuktitut, which translates as "to speak like an Inuk" is the common name of a group of closely related dialects spoken by the Inuit.
		Indeed, the word Inuktitut is already something of an outsider’s term, since the Inuit, when writing in roman orthography spell the name of their language Innuinaqtun.

		Inuktitut is a funny language, where you translate from English to Inuktitut, which is either written in Roman Orthography or syllabics, they're both the same.
		The Inuktitut syllabics writing system, standardized by the Inuit Cultural Institute, has only 3 vowels (a, i, u) and 14 consonants, creating 42 symbols (made of a consonant and a vowel) and 14 singular consonants.
		Some Inuktitut words are very long and using syllabics is efficient as it roughly cuts the number of characters in half (e.g., the word "Nunavut" is 7 characters in Roman Orthography, however, in syllabics it would be 4 characters).

		The 100,000 speakers of Inuktitut currently use three different alphabets - one based on the Roman one used for English, one on Cyrillic, and another representing Inuktitut syllables.
		Yet even in Canada, there are wide variations in the alphabet used for writing what until recently was only a spoken language.
		It is a sign that despite the many years of suffering caused by contact with the outside world, the Inuit are at least partly successful in keeping their traditions alive in the twenty-first century.
