Thank you Ship for the link... Sity, Rance and Nephler I would love to rep ya but have to spread them around a bit to do so... I love hearing it Nephler.. it helps to remember the words more.. great idea to keep the languages alive through education.

And that's really cool, Neph. I'll have to check that out once you get it finished. I don't know anything at all about the native peoples of Michigan and that area, or really anywhere in the lower 48 for that matter. Kinda backwards since I live here...

Also, Ellimeruteten niitaqluki tatervaurtenritniartuten!

(Thee-mah-coo-da-den knee-talk-thoo-key da-deck-vowk-den-git-knee-awk-two-den): Do what you are asked to do so you won't become lazy.

Now, I have no idea how Ellimeruteten could possibly be pronounced as "thee-mah-coo-da-den". I suppose it's like I said before about it being primarily a spoken language, but you would think the guy who transcribed all the Yup'ik words into English lettering would have done a better job of making the lettering match the corresponding sounds. There's no "th" in that word! And no "c"!

Native languages use 'dipthongs' & guttural sounds that we are not easily capable of.

Yeah, I actually know a fair bit about that because linguistics is one of my strong suits. The more guttural sounds are difficult to figure out, but I try to relate it to something in English and then just exaggerate the sound. I don't really know how else to explain it, but yeah. It would be a hell of a challenge, but one day I would love to give it a try, at least to learn some basic communication in Yup'ik or maybe Inupiaq. It's a lot of fun to know another language; you can mess with your friends, for one thing! Ever since I saw that video of the white guy speaking Yup'ik I've been rather inspired.
