'''Hello, hello.

My name is Jake and I am a 29 year old Englishman in Wales.'''

My linguistic interests are Eskimo-Aleut languages, namely Greenlandic, other dialects of Greenland and some Inuktitut and Inupiaq. I also dabble in Chinese, German, Italian, and Danish.

Feel free to write on my Talk page if you have anything you wish to discuss.

- TO DO
 * Greenlandic index
 * Keep suffixes accurate - add red links with examples Appendix,
 * Proto-Eskimo/Proto-Inupik/Proto-Yupik Appendices,
 * Language names/Countries, stealing words from .gl websites and books,
 * Demonstrative pronouns with aa(j)- prefix also, possibly create demonstrative pronouns appendix
 * Oqaasilerifik approved words


 * User:Jakeybean/Eskimo reconstructions
