There is a language for the Inuit. It is called Inuktitut syllabics, because its letters usually denote syllables rather than individual sounds.In the 1870s, Edmund Peck, an Anglican missionary adapted the Cree script to Inuktitut.Other missionaries, and later linguists in the employ of the Canadian and American governments, adapted the Latin alphabet to the dialects of the Mackenzie River delta, the western Arctic islands and Alaska. Inuit is not a singular language so much as a continuum of somewhat inter-comprehensible dialects used in different parts of Canada and Alaska. So Inuktitut can vary widely from place to place.
