010: Taboo, maybe?

I'm not a linguist, but I had a slight idea that I gained from a girl's perspective from a facebook group, that I'm going to base off one language.

There's many different types of Inuktitut in northern Canada. Wouldn't it be easier instead of having many different dialects to grasp the language into a whole? Maybe do some studying between the people and incorporate the differences into each dialect, making it easier for others to learn and possible revive the language? Greenlandic has three different dialects (West, East and the Inuktun spoken by the þúle.)

Not combining every language into one, but I've experienced some confusion from moving from Australia to Canada with the English that both countries present, and am now finding it difficult to maintain a 'preferred' status quo in the language.

I know that each nation represents themselves via the language that they speak, but possibly combining the different dialects, have a base language for each nation to speak would probably be preferred wouldn't it?

One other idea is grabbing all the First Nations languages of Canada (and possibly the US) and upgrading their alphabets to use the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics with each language. This would mean possibly adding letters and deleting some for others, but it would be another basis for each of the languages.

The syllabics are found here:

(There are many more places out there, just have to find them. ^^;)

'Cause really. Who would want to read something like this?:



Opinions.
