@@AaronGeo do you know where i can learn this language? Because so far i have been looking for material to learn it, researching about the language for years, and i didn't found anything
ive always wonderd about the origins of this writting system but its so hard to gather information about it. the look of the language has always intriged me cause ive never seen a language look so geometric besides korean. ive always loved written languages that fix's itself to the voice of the languge it represents for language is complex and itneeds a writting system to reflect that
It really is much easier to pick up than I originally thought when I 1st looked at it. I got much closer to the pronunciation of the word at the end than I thought and WISHED someone was there to celebrate my lil achievement. I'm very proud of myself.😂
That's very interesting thanks for this video. i am a Brazilian indigenous and tupi lang student, i think that every indigenous people should have their own alphabet for their languages, thats very important.
The Gah sounds does not have such a harsh G sound in it. I'm not so familiar with Greenlandic dialects but in the the rest of the arctic regions the G is more silent and is sort of "fused" together more with the N. Thanks for making this video!
I would also mention Greenlandic is the closest language related to Inuktitut, as both languages are poly synthetic and are mutually intelligible when it comes to speaking, but they use different alphabets since Greenlandic uses a modified Latin script, adding the forgettable "Q" which is also used in Inuktitut. Even tho I fking love how Greenlandic sounds and listening to Inuktitut sounds similar to Greenlandic, as it's just basically Inuktitut if it was written in Latin. Both of them are very alien compare to other languages, has no indo european or any language family connection in that matter other than borrowing a few words from English and Danish and the grammar might be terrifying to read as the words are mostly on average 17-25+ characters long, they are underrated and interesting as shit to listen and look at, even when barely anyone speaks them
How is the letter a pronounced in Inuktitut? I've been trying to figure out if it's pronounced like the English letter a or if it's pronounced like ah or something else
Just like the english letter a or the a in spanish. For more information, see en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_phonology#:~:text=Most%20Inuit%20varieties%20have%20fifteen,the%20Canadian%20and%20Greenlandic%20dialects.

Chinese, Dutch, Japanese, German, arabic (Lebanese) I've studies them all n this one is the most complicated writing system I have see yet, except for Thai. Even Korean is not so difficult, but the speech is not that bad to learn at all.. sounds bit like a few other languages Ive heard.
Thanks for explaining my language ^^ ᑕᕙᐅᕗᐃᑎᑦ
ᐃᓛᓕ! (You're Welcome)
@@AaronGeo it is not a abugida,it is a sillabary, just like japanese or linear b, not like hindi or punjab
@@AaronGeo do you know where i can learn this language? Because so far i have been looking for material to learn it, researching about the language for years, and i didn't found anything
@@zaraiwzara This actually is an abugida.
There is not a lot of learning material, cuz this language has 500,000 speakers, maybe find a friend that speaks English and Inuktitut Lmao Zedong
1:07 Oops i forgot to add the text! If you don't know that is the Pu syllable
The Inuktitut alphabet looks has such a simple, yet elegant design

I spent some time learning this syllabary because it looked so cool

OMG I'm Inuk but i live at the bottom of B.C. so its very hard learning my language thank u so much
This alphabet is the coolest alphabet I've ever seen.
Agree
@@AaronGeo same
Thank you for creating this video!
Excellent explanations!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the language closes to Math, it has letters that look like exponents, literal triangles for geometry, AND A SMALLER THAN SYMBOL
Yea tho
@@AaronGeo its all fun and games until you are asked to find the total area of the triangles
Divide the product of the length and the width.
Very good video, thank you!
👌👏👍❤️ Excelent

Inuktitut Is Spoken In Nunavut,Northwest Territories,Quebec (Nunavik),Newfoundland And Labrador (Nunatsiavut) And Manitoba (Churchill)
That's a pretty cool alphabet
It's an abugida
So cool

Alıyayitu (Ka Dialect)
Where do you get all of the inuktitut characters?
I got it from an app called FirstVoices
@@AaronGeo how do you find the inuktitut keyboard i've that already installed
I would really like to learn this language but I don’t know how
There's this website called Tusaalanga where you can learn Inuktitut

Inuktitut alphabet looks like cryptography
So what would the word family look like?

So if you read stuff upside down it might say something else
Yes
U: ᐅ, can mean a:ᐊ, if you flip it upside down
note: mi looks like russian g

Why I am here even I know this language
Ma,Mi,Fu are the different L Shaped Inuktitut Language
Technically it's an abugida, not an alphabet.
Um akshually it's an abugida not an alphabet ☝️🤓

Thank you for explaining this bizarre language (It doesn't really have an alphabet but whatever)
Its mostly oral but used in Inuit communities
