Inuktitut syllabary

The Inuktitut syllabary is a writing system used by Inuit people in Nunavut and in northern Quebec. It was originally adapted from the Cree syllabary by Edmund Peck, an Anglican missionary, in the 1870's. It is part of a system of syllabic writing schemes which are grouped together in the Unicode standard as Unified Canadian Syllabics.

The initial sound in the syllable can be - G, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, NG, , ƚ (L-), or nothing, and the vowel can be A, I, U or absent.
