LOL!!! This is Greenlandic? It look like absolutely imposisble to understand :-) Great!!! Is it part of the next story- have we to continue it? I've read that you know sign Language. I'd like veyr much to learn Sign Language, I find it beautiful. Are you deaf?

haha, no its Inuktitut part in Natsilingmiutut dialects
and our inuktitut similiar kalaallisut. of course lol
yeah im deaf, ASL are my fluently speaker lol

Wow, it's interesting but I never heard of this languages. Whta's Inuktitut, it's the language, and Natsilngmiutut is a region? It's similar kalaalsut, what's this, for example other language? You put that Greenlandic's your language, maybe those other ones are languages in Greenland as well? Please explain me :-)

The "of course" is about the story, that we have to continue it, or that you're deaf? If you mean the story I will compose the next part.

How difficult's the sign Language for the people who aren't deaf and who want to learn it? I don't know deaf people, unfortunately. Can you talk ? It have to be very diffcult talking if you're deaf i think.

Inuktitut are inuit of the northern canada. NWT, Nunavut, Nunavik and Labrador of the Bfld.
Natsilingmiutut are dialect of the central (East Kitikmoet in nunavut), we has 16 dialects inuit languages. in Alaskan Inupiaq has 4/5 dialects, and Canadian Inuit has 9 dialects and Greenlandic Inuit has 3 dialects

related Yupik and Aleut family languages and distant related Uralic-Altaic especially Japanese and Korean.

Difficult for who not hearing for use sign language? hmm depends if you go to college or university for learning ASL has more than levels 5 i thinks, my interpreter told me ASL done in 2-4 yrs....some people hard to understand who deaf speak ASL, but if you already learn ASL since more 10 yrs it would be easier.

you can ask someone who deaf could teaching you sign language it will be fun =]

wow!!!!!!!! your replys are very interesting. I'm very happy that you visit this thread and that we 've this conversation.

During long time I want to learn sign Lnaguage and I want to know deaf people. Sometimes I'm fed up with spoken conversatiosn because I don't know who said which thing, and in my school I've learned some strategies, for example to look to the lips of the people and then you can know who's spoken and if you must reply ( if you reply but they hadn't spoken they laugh at me). I think that the deaf people would be not nasty when i made such mistakes. In my new school they don't laugh. How's your school, or are you older?

Quote:

Wow!!!!! very many dialects!!! I like very much dialects. Which is your nationality? maybe you feel Inuit, but it's not a country, but in Canada, US and Greenland. Those places are beautiful I think, although very cold, no? Have you much snow? We've snow in the winter, but not all the time, but about 20 or 30 days each year.

Quote:

related Yupik and Aleut family languages and distant related Uralic-Altaic especially Japanese and Korean.

But, your language is written in the same alphabet than English. Can you understand some Japanese or Korean when it's written in our alphabet ? (Or maybe you can read those ones as well).

you can learn ASL in 2-4 years? I suppose with muhc study and practise. After 10 yrs it's easier, I can imagine.

yes, it will be wonderful and great. I've some problems, therefore i don't know if I can learn it good, but I want to try it.

Tomorrow I will continue our international story!!!

Inuktitut use writing Canadian Syllabic writing system borrowing from Abudiga but we not use traditional writing, Japanese borrowing Chinese's writing kanji etc you see Japanese use Romanji as well but i means inuit are very similar japanese word
look here:

Inuit and Japanese:
ani/ani 'older brother'
niqi/niku 'meat'
naaq/onaka 'belly/stomach'
atigi/atsugi 't-shirt/clothes'
inuusiq/inochi 'life'
taki/taka 'tall'
simik/shime- 'to block up'
qugjuk/kugui 'swan'
imiq/mizu 'water'
imaq/umi 'sea/ocean'
ii,aa/ee,aa (yes)
iiq/iie (no)
utchuk/chitsu 'vagina'
ayyigiik/ayakaru 'similiar/likeness'

hiqiniq 'sun'/hi 'sun' and hikaru 'shining'
kangiqsi 'understand'/kangeru 'thinks'
savik/(old-japanese 'safi' 'knife'
sila 'atmosphere'/sora 'sky'
napaq 'growing'/noboru 'to rising'
qai, qayaq 'canoe'/kaji 'oar' and (Turkish qajiq/kayik) kayak

Piqsiq/(Korean 'pikseol' 'heavy snow/blizzard'

Inuit is very closely related Japanese's similiar word, you know Inuit and Eskimo-Aleut originally Far East Asian and they moved to North America in 10,000 years ago.

Linguist believes Eskimo-Aleut related Uralic-Altaic (Japanese/Korean related Altaic) and Basque as well

Paire Nòstre qu'ei ath cèl,

qu'era tia volontat sia hèita ara tèrra coma ath cèl.
Dòna-nos agüèi eth nòstre pan de cada dia,
e perdona-nos es nòstres ofènses
coma nosàti perdonam es d'aqueths que nos an ofensats
e no nos deishes pas caure en tentacion;
mai deliura-nos deth malin.
Atal sia.

adeu siau!
