[ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ ᐃᓚᖏᐅᑎᑎᑦᓯᒍᑎ/suqusiqpaa ilangiutititsiguti] Language names

I am trying to provide names for the languages of other wikis in Inuktitut. I'm using the following principles:

• Where I can find an attested name for the language in any recent resource, I use it. Only English, French and Chinese fit this category.
• Where I can find a name for the country, I slap a ᑎᑐᑦ on it, since that seems to be the structure normally used to construct language names in the Nunavut Hansard.
• For artifical languages, I simply try to transcribe the name since no one speaking an artificial language is speaking "like" people of a certain kind. Ergo, ᑎᑐᑦ seems inappropriate.
• In the cases of other global languages, I'm going to try to use the English country name and the ᑎᑐᑦ suffix.
• Smaller languages I'm just going to leave be.

[ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ ᐃᓚᖏᐅᑎᑎᑦᓯᒍᑎ/suqusiqpaa ilangiutititsiguti] Greenlandic music

I have nominated the en:Music of Greenland article to be the Wikimedia translation of the week. That means, if it gets selected, it will be translated into many languages, probably at least a dozen. It has been suggested that the article should be translated in Greenlandic or some other language before being chosen, so if anybody can help out there, please do. If you'd like to comment on the nomination, go to meta:Translation of the Week#en:Music_of_Greenland_-_2-0. Tuf-Kat from en (I know Greenlandic and Inuktikut aren't the same thing, but I thought someone here might be interested in the nomination) i'd help translate it into inuktitut from english or spanish or into spanish and inuktitut from english, greenlandic and inuktitut are like pertuguese and italian, sometimes you can understand what the person is talking about and vice versa with varying degrees, but definatly not the same language, baffin island and canada are pretty wide oceans awy from kalaliit nunaat.

[ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ ᐃᓚᖏᐅᑎᑎᑦᓯᒍᑎ/suqusiqpaa ilangiutititsiguti] Quechua

In the languages list, quechua mut be ᕿᓱᐊ instead ᑮᓱᐊ Greetings. Huhsunqu 21:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah, no I don't think so. Quechua is the Spanish name of the language and it is pronounced kechua with normal velar [k]. ᕿ would imply a pronounciation with uvular [q], which doesn't exist in Spanish. --Thogo (Talk) 12:40, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

The edit button on all the pages still says "edit" on english, it should say "ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ/suqusiqpaa"

ok, changed. --Thogo (Talk) 19:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

no i meant the edit button within sections/chapters of the same article, for up at the top its should say "ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ ᒪᑉᐱᑕᖅ/suqusiqpaa mappitaq" - edit page, but within article it should say ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ/suqusiqpaa simply edit, since edit can mean just a section, alltho for simplicitys sake in retrospect just ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ/suqusiqpaa seems good enough, page isnt really nessisaryly. can i give you the roman letters for the rest of them?

i think since searches are often fruitless becuz of small article count if someone could add in articles new made into them on the main page. is there anywhere where there is a list of articles? or list of new articles? or best list in order created?

Yes. Special:Newpages is for new articles, Special:Allpages lists all. --Thogo (Talk) 19:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

the main page could use a major facelift. The pointer to the closure discussion can be safely removed. And there should be some images. --Johannes Rohr 12:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Can someone translate these lines from the Front page to Inuktitut?

"Welcome to the Inuktitut Wikipedia! Wikipedia is a free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Currently, there are 132 articles in the Inuktitut edition. It is hoped that this project will become a comprehensive source of information entirely in the native language of the Inuit."
