i thought i'd step out now, and be a pedant....
the language you mentioned back there (innuit) is called variously
inuktitut, inuttitut, inuktitun, innuinaqtun, or kalaallisut (in greenland).
The term 'inuit' is their name for themselves, meaning 'human being'. It's
inuit in the plural (3 or more) and inuk in the singular. btw, inuktitut
means 'to speak like an inuk'.
just poking my nose in.....
