I am looking to understand and speak Blackfoot in memory of a woman I met in the early 80's in Great Falls, Montana. I nearly left the British Army, went AWOL for her but, she told me to go back and not be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life. \i am both glad that |I did and sad that I did at the same time. I believe she is now passed and I wept for her. All I can do now is honor her by learning her Native Language.
I have found out that I have Blackfoot in me. I couldn't believe it and I want to learn more about it. There really isn't anyone left from the old days in my family to talk/ask about it. I want to thank you for having this video and channel.
I hear the similarities in Ojibwe and Siksika. I love this language.
They're both algonquian languages with a common ancestor :)
Compare I love you in both roman & Syllabics

I believe putting macron's over the vowels instead of writing 2 of them can really help convey the language more effectively and efficiently. For example, instead of writing "Niitsitapi" it would be Nītsitapi. And for Bison/Buffalo it would change to īnī instead of iinii. Just my thought as I study multiple languages and this format is understood worldwide, which would ensure consistently accurate pronunciation, no matter the native language.
That makes sense! I was wondering why we weren't using that method for accents. On my dad's side, his grandma was full Blackfoot, and his grandpa was Scottish/Irish. So basically, I'm mixed, but trying to learn more about my Blackfoot roots.
Wow, wonderful, an actual Blackfoot learning post. All the others just say the words and move on with not explanation or proper pronunciation, or how it works in a sentence. I hope there would be more and that the introduction of vocabulary along with a story would be great.
Off to learn my ancestor's language!! Thank you so much for this introduction to it!

I'm so glad you mentioned the Syllabary. It's creation was headed by a white missionary but he did have at least one blackfoot collaborator whose name rarely gets mentioned & on top of that it's partly based off of the Cree Syllabary.
Some blackfoot acquaintances of mine have amended the Syllabary to finally be able to write long & accented vowels
By adding one new final , -a ᐩ & ̇ ̈ dot, & double, for accents on the top of the character the system becomes fully usable
Some examples

ᑯᖳᒧᔈ Piatis maybe. It wouldn't mean anything in Blackfoot but it might mean something else entirely if it happens to sound like something else bh coincidence, it's from the Latin Beatrix

How do you say stop playing the victim.
Shut up.
I believe the phrase was created by millenials. It goes, "Ok, boomer."
