Eskimo (Inuktitut) Dictionary :
Eskimo-English/English-Eskimo, Revised Edition
The Inuktitut dialect of Inuit, a member of the Eskimo-Aleut language
family, is spoken by over 30,000 natives of eastern Canada, including Quebec
and Nunavut. It is easily understood throughout the Inuit communities of
Canada, Greenland, and northern Alaska. This unique dictionary encompasses
almost every word spoken by the Inuit peoples of North America, including a
good many ways to say snow, though fewer than rumoured. Care had been taken
to include terms unique to particular Inuit communities. Readers will also
find special grammar appendices, a introduction to the language's writing
system, and sections with family terms and geographic names. All entries
have been romanised for easy use. |
