About Inuktut Qaliujaaqpait
Inuktut Qaliujaaqpait is a unified orthography: a common set of characters that can be used in to write any dialect of Inuktut, the Inuit language. The orthography is representative of all Inuktut sounds. This way speakers of any dialect from any region can write using Inuktut Qaliujaaqpait while still following the pronunciation that they use in their own dialects. The orthography was developed by ITK’s Atausiq Inuktut Titirausiq working group to help ease written communication in Inuktut among the different regions of Inuit Nunangat.
What does the converter do?
The Inuktut Qaliujaaqpait Converter automatically converts regional orthographic text typed or copied and pasted by users into Inuktut Qaliujaaqpait, or the other way around. This tool does not translate words or meanings between dialects, it only converts the letters between different writing systems to help with readability. The words and their pronunciation will still reflect the dialect the text was originally written in.
