	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.

		(http://198.161.103.254/nipisihkopahk/SYLLABICS/SYLLABIC_HISTORY/syllabic_history.html) However, the lack of written material in syllabics before 1840, the well-documented history of partially missionary driven expansion of syllabic writing, and its resemblance to Pitman shorthand, all weigh strongly against this conclusion.
		In order to accommodate 6 different vowels, Dakelh and Sekani use all four vowel orientations and indicate the two additional vowels by placing a dot or a horizonal line into the rightward pointing form.
		The “double vowel”; Roman orthography developed by John Nichols and Charles Fiero is increasingly the standard in the USA and is beginning to penetrate into Canada, in part to prevent further atomisation of what is already a minority 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.
		The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (CAS) writing system was created by James Evans, a Wesleyan missionary in what is now Manitoba in 1840.

	Proposed pDAM for Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics
		This proposal is being presented by the Canadian Standards Association with full support from the Canadian Government, CASEC (Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Encoding Committee), as well as from coding and script experts in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
		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.

		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.
		In Canada, the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabic Encoding Committee (CASEC) was formed to include not only Inuktitut syllabics but also all aboriginal syllabic users, both current and historical.

		It is part of a system of syllabic writing schemes which are grouped together in the Unicode standard as Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics.
		At present, Inuktitut syllabics enjoy official status in Nunavut alongside the Latin alphabet.
		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.

	Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics
		Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics is the collective name for the syllabic writing systems developed from James Evans' Ojibwe syllabary, which he invented in 1840.
		Ojibwe (Anishinaabe/Ojibwa/Chippewa/Chipewyan), is an Algonquian language spoken on by about 50,000 people in the Canadian provinces of Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and by about 30,000 people in the US states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana and North Dakota.

		Eight additional Inuktitut characters are required in the repertoire of Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, which were not included when the original repertoire was being formulated.
		Canada and Ireland request that WG2 add these characters to the repertoire in the positions indicated and process an FPDAM as soon as possible.
