Glossaries and Vocabularies in Aboriginal Languages

Notes

To read the text in Inuktitut, make sure you have a Unicode Syllabic font installed, such as Pigiarniq or Euphemia. You can download the Pigiarniq font package for free.

The first eleven Inuktitut glossaries are the property of Nunavut Arctic College. The twelfth glossary is the property of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.

These glossaries contain terminology in three languages (English, Inuktitut and French) with English definitions. They reflect Nunavut’s specialized language and the key issues of Inuit communities. Only the Glossary of Mining Terminology contains definitions in English and French.
