editI'm having a bitch of a time separating this from Inuvialuk. Sources seem to vary tremendously; we say that Inuktitut is official in the NWT, but it have sources saying it isn't spoken west of Hudson Bay. So, should we just combine the two articles? — kwami (talk) 15:46, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
- Of the 11 official languages in the NWT, 3 are Inuit languages, Inuktitut, Inuvialuktun and Inuinnaqtun (also official in Nunavut). This map from the GNWT says that most Inuktitut speakers live in Yellowknife. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 18:00, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
I think it depends on what time/era you are talking about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.13.96.82 (talk) 03:00, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
Pigiarniq ≠ ᐱᓄᐊᕐᓂᖅ
editᐱᒋᐊᕐᓂᖅ ＝Pigiarniq (ᒋ = gi) ᐱᓄᐊᕐᓂᖅ ＝Pinuarniq (ᓄ = nu) --Kmoksy (talk) 17:23, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- ᐱᒋᐊᕐᓂᖅ (http://www.ch.gov.nu.ca/pdf/installingfontsandkeyboard_inuk.pdf) is true Inuktitut orthography --Kmoksy (talk) 17:28, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- I agree that Pigiarniq is ᐱᒋᐊᕐᓂᖅ, as that is how it is listed on Tiro Typework's Resources page. I have also added two other fonts to that listing: Uqammaq ᐅᖃᒻᒪᖅ and Euphemia ᐅᕓᒥᐊ. However, I did not make a mention that Euphemia is also now included as standard UCAS-range font on Microsoft's operating systems, but I did provide a link to an article that speaks to that.

Template
editNote that the {{lang-iu}} template is currently broken and italicizes its text. Someone should fix that. — LlywelynII 17:51, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
Use of the word “suffixes” under Grammar
editWould it not be more accurate to use the word “affixes” as Inuktitut uses infixes in addition to suffixes? For example isn’t saying that Inuktitut has hundreds of distinct affixes more accurate than hundreds of distinct suffixes? Nissele (talk) 21:08, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
Siglitun
editExceptions are made for the Siglitun dialect in the phonology section, but that's a dialect of Inuvialuktun, not Inuktitut. I believe the notes about Siglitun should be moved to the Inuvialuktun page, but I'm open to hearing why they are listed here. AnyGuy (talk) 00:34, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
