Ulaakut! Andyujunga. Qanuipit?
Good day! I'm Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Inuktitut language.
Inuktitut, also known as Eastern Canadian Inuktitut, is a principal Inuit language of Canada spoken in regions north of the North American tree line, including parts of Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, northeastern Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. It is an official language in Nunavut (alongside Inuinnaqtun, collectively known as Inuktut) and one of eight official native languages in the Northwest Territories. It also has legal recognition in Nunavik, Quebec. According to the 2016 Canadian census, 37,570 out of 70,540 Inuit identified Inuktitut as their mother tongue.
The Inuktitut syllabary, based on the Cree syllabary created by missionary James Evans, is one of the Aboriginal languages written with Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. Its current form was adopted by the Inuit Cultural Institute in the 1970s. In contrast, Inuit in Alaska, Inuvialuit, Inuinnaqtun speakers, and Inuit in Greenland and Labrador use Latin alphabets.
The Inuit, meaning "the people," are Indigenous peoples from the Arctic and subarctic regions of North America, including Greenland, parts of Canada, Alaska, and Russia. They speak languages from the Eskaleut family. Inuit culture features distinct practices such as throat singing (katajjaq), where two women perform duets without instruments, and traditional tattoos (kakiniit), mainly among women, marking significant life transitions like womanhood. The Inuit have unique spiritual beliefs, including seeing ancestor spirits in the aurora borealis. Their traditional dwellings include Igloos & Qarmat. Muktuk, a traditional food, consists of whale skin and blubber, eaten raw or prepared in various ways. Inuksuit are stone landmarks used for navigation and marking important sites.

Can you respost your old videos of your all playlists please?
I was coincidentally looking up Inuktitut yesterday for a conlang I was making
Are you planning to make it polysynthetic?
@@xjmmjbnqfstjdijoj2044 I'm dunno, I suck at making grammar for my conlangs lol, all I can say is that's it's a mix of Inuktitut, Greenlandic and Russian
@@alyss_aqI feel yah. I just started off by using the grammar of my language then changing it so the grammar is different but I can still understand it.
can i learn your conlang though?
any contacts?
@@dalubwikaan161 well, I have a discord account, but none of my conlangs are complete/usesable due to a lack of words
"Ataata, anaana"
In Turkish we say "ata" to father or ancestor and "ana" to mother... Happy to meet with canadian brothers❤
These words are similar in many languages because they are derived from the sounds babies make.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG! thank you! my grandmother spoke it as a kid, but she developed dementia and wasn't able to speak it when I was a child.
That's so sad... have you tried learning it individually?
@@Juno-gi6fj no, i haven’t found a proper teacher
@@mccoyfleming6664 you could try tusaalanga if they have the dialect she spoke. Best of luck finding a teacher
The absolute BEST writing system to exist (next to hangeul) and I will NOT be taking criticism!
Argumenta...
Eh, no.
Latin with IPA additions is much effective than any Hamgeul
This language is a nightmare for people with the fear of long words(but i like inuktitut)
Like with Finnish. 😅 (I love Finnish, regardless.)
@@TommyCashLover420 georgian or navajo too
Great deep dive thanks.
Please video about Proto-Inuit language.
There are still natives in Canada. Even their culture and heritage.
Please make the Tupi language Guarani, it is an indigenous language here in Brazil
Could you do a Greenlandic/Inuktitut comparison
Tysm
Мені подаьаєтся новенька мова❤
Inuktitut is a native Canadian language right Andy
Yes it is
Wow @@brianreyesvaldez8786
Can u compare this languages
GREENLANDIC AND INUKTITUT
Can you make a video about Moken/Moklen language, a austronesian language spoken in Myanmar and Thailand
❤❤❤
Are you from canada?
I would like to learn this languahe, but I do not know where to get its sources
The real people and owners of canada
True!
Soon, Iraqi Arabic and Persian?
Is this language mutually intelligible or related to Greenlandic?
Somewhat
should compare Canadian French to Canadian English and Inuktitut
i just realised that mother "anaana" and father "ataata" in inuktitut language is almost the same in turkic languages. for example in turkish we sometimes use "ana" for mother and "ata" for father.
Nice observation! The reason of similarity is because it is originated from children's tongue
It's a pair of linguistic universals which are the same or similar across the world's languages. E.g., "mama" means "father" in Georgian, which might be surprising but actually just speaks for the fact that people take the noises babies make and assign arbitrary meanings to them. And ofc, "mama", "papa", "tata", "dada" are very easy to pronounce and are often among the first "words" babies make and the adults interpret these "words" as referring to themselves, i. e. "mother" and "father".
Another proof that Canada belongs to Kazakhstan

Sahidic Coptic, please
Inuktitut is one of the rarest and most bizarre languages in the world because of its strange alphabet system and its long words.
Waiting for Huron Wendat
I need a volunteer.
Sounds a bit like arabic with the three vowels and "q" sound
I think it sounds like a lot of Siberian languages.
8=2*4, 7=2*4-1, 9=10-1, just randomly guessed.
The Jew's Harp instrument in the background always has an adorable sound: boing boing!
This is like blackfoot
