09-09-17 What others blog about standardizing the Inuktitut language.

After going through some blogs on Standardizing Inuktitut Language and reading some blogs, I'm more confused about the whole idea than ever before. I realize My idea is more about standardizing Inuktitut language for our Nunavut schools and this blog I came across is talking about standardizing inuktitut language globally. It's focus is more on having one common writing system across the circumpolar world for political reasons.

Another blog I came across talks about Preserving the Inuit language and culture and mentions the Canadian Native Americans are working to establish an Inuktitut institute to preserve native language and culture. They are basing their plans on similar efforts by the Faroese Language Committee in the Faroe Islands. I think the author of this blog touches a bit of standardizing the Inuktitut languge when he writes: "It will need to come up with new words to adapt to the rapidly changing world. To come up with new words and to standardize spelling across regions would be one of the main purposes of the Inuktitut institute if it were founded." I believe we as a Inuit group across Nunavut are already doing colloborative work to standardize new word on new technology.

Then when I searched for Queen's Inuktitut, I came across a very interesting blog titled: a Solution for two crisis by Michael's Meandering. He included in his blog a link about how other countries like Germany did their written language reform for a new German written standard.
