Inuktitut, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_languages">
|
|
|
53 |
Inuit language</a>, is one of the few remaining cultural traditions the
|
|
|
54 |
Inuit have been able to preserve. In Inuktitut, the language of the
|
|
|
55 |
Inuit people, "Inuit" means "the people". There are many variations
|
|
|
56 |
of Inuktitut that vary from region to region, however the root of the
|
|
|
57 |
language is constant.

Inuktitut is very complex and structured very differently than what
|
|
|
62 |
most western civilizations are used to. Words are very long and often
|
|
|
63 |
feature "swallowed" consonants. Unlike other languages that string
|
|
|
64 |
small words together to make meaning, Inuktitut uses intricate pieces
|
|
|
65 |
locked together to produce an entire meaning. The study of the Inuit
|
|
|
66 |
language is difficult since there is very little research conducted
|
|
|
67 |
on this particular topic.
