This page gives access to Unicode and Legacy fonts for displaying Inuktitut syllabic characters, and to keyboard drivers that must be used in order to type those characters at the keyboard. With this application, one can get Inuktitut text rewritten from some original format (Unicode, Nunacom, ProSyl, roman alphabet, etc.) to another format.Īn application that produces an exact copy of an Inuktitut web page with the Inuktitut syllabic text transliterated to the roman alphabet.ĭisplay and Input of Inuktitut Syllabic Characters There is also applications that return linguistic information on the roots and the infixes contained in the data base. There is an application that returns de decomposition of a word highlighted by the user in a web page. This link leads to applications that use the inuktitut morphological analyzer and the data base.
INUKTITUT KEYBOARD FULL
We are still adding to our linguistic database, but the tool already provides an almost complete set of the "roots" and "infixes" of the language, taking full account for their various forms.
The focus is on the dialects of Eastern Canadian Inuktitut. In order to provide support for students and as a basis for more complex tools such as spelling correctors and better search tools that are taken for granted in other languages, we have developed a tool that splits these long words into morphemes (a morphological analyser). This may represent a particular challenge to newcomers to the language, more so when one considers the phonological transformations as those infixes are added up. Mission: To facilitate the use of Inuktitut in its written form on computers and the web by providing useful tools and links to important resources.Ī common problem for a student of Inuktitut is that words grow to gigantic proportions, often counting over five or six infixes, and need to be broken into units of meaning in order to be understood.
