updated 1-6-2003 The Aleut languages (Inuit-Aleut) comprise one branch of the Inuit-Aleut family of languages. The Aleut languages are spoken in the Aleutian Islands off Alaska, and also in the nearby Commander Islands, which belong to Russia. Aleut is divided into the Western Aleut and Eastern Aleut sub-branches. Western Aleut includes Atkan, Attuan, Unangan, and Unangany. Eastern Aleut includes Unalaskan, Pribilof Aleut, and Kodiak Aleut. A Russian missionary developed an alphabet for the Aleut languages about 1825, based on Cyrillic. The Latin alphabet was introduced in the 20th century. 497.1 Fortescue, Michael D F738c Comparative Eskimo dictionary : with Aleut cognates / Michael Fortescue, Steven Jacobson, Lawrence Kaplan. -- Fairbanks, AK : Alaska Native Language Center, University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1994 RID: 94-24177 ITEM #: ale00001 306.9011 Graburn, Nelson H.

updated 5-23-2001 Inuit (Inuit-Aleut), also called Eskimo and Eskimoan, comprises one branch of the Inuit-Aleut family of languages. Although once the languages comprising Inuit were less distinct than they are today, the harsh environment and isolation in which their speakers live have accelerated the development of those dialects into separate languages. Various scholars have grouped the Inuit languages in different ways. Most scholars now recognize the following sub-branches: Naukan (also called Naukanski and Naukan Siberian Yupik), Alutiiq (also called Sugpiaq, Pacific Yupik, and Alutiiq Alaskan Yupik), Central Siberian Yupik (called Yuit by some), Central Yupik (also called Central Alaskan Yupik, Yuk, or - by some - Yuit) - which includes Inupiaq (also called Inupiat, Inupik, Inuk, and Inuktitut, and to confuse matters further, also Inuit)--, Sirenik (also called Sirenikski), Seward Peninsula Inuit, North Alaskan Inuit, Western Canadian Inuit, Eastern Canadian Inuit, and Greenlandic Inuit (also called Kalatdlisut). Within most of these sub-branches, there are many languages and dialects. Re writing: In 1721, the Latin alphabet was introduced in Greenland; in 1937, the Soviet government developed an alphabet based on Cyrillic for the Soviet Siberian people. In the 1960's, the Cree syllabary began to be used in Canada, and is now extensively used.

updated 1-24-2002 Inupiaq (Inuit-Aleut), also called Inupiat, Inupik, Inuk, and Inuktitut, and also Inuit (like the name of the branch!), belongs to the General Central Yupik sub-branch of the Central Yupik sub-branch of the Inuit branch of the Inuit-Aleut family of languages. Some linguists consider Inupiaq to be a dialect of Yupik.

updated 1-24-2002 Yupik (Inuit-Aleut), more properly called Central Yupik (also called Central Alaskan Yupik, Yuk, and -- by some -- Yuit), is spoken in central Alaska. There are a number of dialects (some would say languages) and sub-dialects which comprise Central Yupik. These include Egegik and General Central Yupik, with the latter divided into Inupiaq, Lake Iliamna, Nushagak River, Bristol Bay, Kuskokwim (including Lower Kuskokwim, Upper Kuskokwim, Nelson Island, and Yukon), Hooper Bay-Chevak, Nunivak, and Norton Sound. Closely related to Central Yupik are Alutiiq (also called Pacific Yupik and Sugpiaq) and Siberian Yupik. Today Central Yupik is frequently written with the Cree syllabary, but also sometimes with the Latin alphabet. 391.434089971 Agayuliyararput = Our way of making prayer / transcribed and translated A264.E by Marie Meade ; edited by Ann Fienup-Riordan. - Seattle : Anchorage Museum of History and Art in association with the University of Washington Press, 1996 In Yupik and English.
