Inuktitut: 2,000 Words, 100 Affixes and the Syllabic Script: All the Foundations to Aim for B1 - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What if the most fascinating language of the Americas were also one of the most logical?

Inuktitut builds its sentences the way you assemble a sled: a root, a few affixes, and one word that says everything. Computer? "That which resembles a brain." Internet? "That which travels through the layers of the world." A language like a poem, spoken by nearly 40,000 people — the most vigorous of Canada's Indigenous languages.

This volume gives you all the foundations you need to aim for B1:

• 8 progressive levels, 16 dialogues and 8 graded serial readings
• 2,000 words sorted by theme, the essential kept apart from the treasure
• 100 affixes, the complete syllabary and a method for reading it
• the 50 essential verbs and every connector you need at B1
• the full table of endings, including the dual
• and the collection's honesty page: what this book can do, and what no book can ever promise

Reference dialect: South Qikiqtaaluk (Iqaluit), with North Qikiqtaaluk and Inuinnaqtun sidebars. Every word appears in both scripts — Latin alphabet and qaniujaaqpait syllabics — with pronunciation cued for English speakers.

Nakurmiik — and welcome to the land.
