	Freelancers' Guidelines
		Inuktitut explores the stories that are important to Inuit, from the viewpoint of Inuit, and encourages Inuit writers, photographers and illustrators to work with the magazine.
		Inuktitut magazine will look after colour correction of photos and illustrations, although an exact match to originals can't be guaranteed if images are sent electronically, because computer monitors display differently.
		Inuktitut magazine purchases first-time North American print and electronic rights to articles, and to photos and illustrations that it commissions (in addition to the magazine's print run, Inuktitut is posted to ITK's website at www.itk.ca).

	Inuktitut Sylabics
		The syllabic writing system was meant to be mechanically printed right from the onset, and Evans actually produced crude letterpress forms with the scant materials he had available.
		The font is also the first syllabic design that rejects not only the word-recognition evolution of western typography, but the poorly adapted designs of previous Inuktitut syllabic fonts as well.
		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.

	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.
		It is spoken in all areas north of the treeline, including parts of the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and to some extent in northeastern Manitoba as well as the territories of Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and traditionally on the Arctic Ocean coast of Yukon.
		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.

	Proposed pDAM for Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics
		For instance, Inuktitut GHA shall not be separately encoded from Cree CA; the characters are identical regardless of the pronunciation.
		Syllabics text is in common use for aboriginal items such as newspapers, magazines, books, educational materials etc.; the BMP is the appropriate plane for the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics repertoire to be encoded.
		Syllabics were first invented in the late 1830's by James Evans for Algonquian languages and, as other communities and linguistic groups adopted the script, the main structural principles described above were adopted as well.

	JEP: Typesetting Native American Languages
		Inuktitut is the language of the Inuit (also known as "Eskimos," but the term is considered offensive by Inuit who live in Canada and Greenland).
		The Inuktitut syllabics are used by Inuit who live in Canada, especially in the new Canadian territory of Nunavut.
		Currently, there are two Inuktitut orthographies (orthography is the art or study of correct spelling according to established usage): the Anglican (used mainly in Nunavut) and the Catholic (used mainly in Quebec).

	Inuit
		In Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit people, "Inuit" means "the people".
		They believed that all things had a form of spirit, just like humans, and that to some extent these spirits could be influenced by a pantheon of supernatural entities that could be appeased when one required some animal or inanimate thing to act in a certain way.
		The shaman (Inuktitut: angakuq, sometimes spelled angakok) of a community of Inuit was not the leader, but rather a sort of healer and psychotherapist, who tended wounds and offered advice, as well as invoking the spirits to assist people in their lives.

		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.
		Because the Inuktitut language is a continuum of only partially intercomprehensible dialects, the language varies a great deal across the Arctic.

		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).

		Today, Inuktitut is written in syllabics in the Baffin and Kivalliq regions, and in the eastern part of the Kitikmeot Region.
		The people were taught a new way to communicate, called syllabics, which was the first "written Inuktitut." The syllabics system was developed by Rev. James Evans for the Cree and was introduced to the Inuit by Anglican missionary Edmund Peck.
		Inuktitut is a language that is unique to its culture and although there are some differences in the way it is spoken from one region to the next, it is possible for individuals to understand each other from the east coast of

		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.
		In the recently declared (1999) Canadian region known as the Nunavut Territory, Canadian Syllabics shares the title of "Official Script" with the Latin script, and is used for the writing of the Inuit language.
		Samples of Cree may be found at the Cree Language Reader and Daniel 1:1-21 O.T., and some samples of Inuktitut at the Inuktitut Language Reader and at http://www.assembly.nu.ca/unicode/fonts/index-iu.html.

		The first three syllabics shapes orient their vowels by having E in the North, I in the South, O in the West and A in the East, resulting in 12 characters.
		The next three (and subsequent) sets are different from the '-, B- and D- sets in that the rest of the syllabics sets, the syllabic shape refer to the appropriate vowel with E in the Northwest, I in the Northeast, O in the Southwest and A in the Southeast.
		In the renewed interest in syllabics usage, communities in Canada are re-acquainting themselves with the syllabics, creating a degree of separation between the Roman-letter based dominant English/French culture of Canada from the First Nations' language and culture in effort to ensure the survival of the language and culture.

		* However, with the apparent lack of preserved written material in syllabics before 1840, the well-documented history of partially missionary driven expansion of syllabic writing, and its resemblance to Pitman shorthand, weigh favorably against this conclusion.
		* By then, both Protestant and Catholic missionaries were using and actively propagating syllabic writing.
		At present, at least for Inuktitut and Algonquian languages, Canadian government at least tolerates and in some cases encourages the use of syllabics.

		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.
		CAS are also in widespread use in the area of northern Quebec (called Nunavik) where initiatives are underway to create a similar kind of self-government as was done in Nunavut.

		Inuit (Inuktitut syllabics: бђѓб“„бђѓб‘¦, singular Inuk or Inuq / бђѓб“„б’ѓ) is a general term for a group of culturally similar indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic coasts of Siberia, Alaska, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, Labrador and Greenland (see Eskimo).
		The hoods of Inuit women's parkas — amautiit (singular amauti, amaut or amautik) in Inuktitut — were traditionally made extra large, to protect the baby from the harsh wind when snuggled against the mother's back.
		Indeed, Canada has, metaphorically, adopted some of the Inuit culture as a sort of national identity, using Inuit symbols like the inukshuk in unlikely places, such as its use as a symbol of Vancouver's Olympic bid for 2010.
