The phrases on omniglot are in Kobuk Iñupiaq, quite diffrent from the main North Slope branch. Yeah you're right, suli means and, but you can also add the ending -liu to a word and make it 'and', for instance 'aġanagalu aŋutilu' a woman and a man.
Back to the topic Kallasuit and Iñupiaq are each dialects of the Inuit language, if you learned both you would say you knew one language and two dialects, apparently you can learn the differences in a few days of listening according to an elder I've talked to. Better yet reading a phrase, I know a popular 10 minute short video shot entirely in Iñupiaq, which could be a good base for comparison. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvAceiILq4A Edited by akprocks on 19 January 2011 at 2:27am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Check this TV programme from the BBC:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00xjyfx/Arctic_with_Br uce_Parry_Greenland/ I don't know if it's viewable outside the UK, and it'll be available for a short time. But it's the story of life and hunting in Greenland presented by Bruce Parry who travels with them on their trips. There's quite a lot of dialogue with the native speakers so you'll hear Greenlandic and learn about the culture and challenges of these amazing people. Hope you manage to access it, it's well worth the effort. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I can't really read greenlandic worth a damn I definitly need more practice so I can make the transition from Greenlandic to Iñupiaq easy. Have you guys heard this site to practice Inuit? It's excellent. http://www.knr.gl/index.php?id=1773
