LANGUAGE TAG REGISTRATION FORM Name of requester : Peter Constable E-mail address of requester: Tag to be registered : iu-Latn English name of language : Inuktitut in Latin script Native name of language (transcribed into ASCII): inuktitut Reference to published description of the language (book or article): Inuktitut is customarily written both in Latin script and in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabic script. It is often required, when matching languages, to select a subset of documents written in a particular script. When looking up language resources, this is even more important, so that text in different scripts is not mixed. Thus, it is important to be able to distinguish between scripts used in writing iu: iu-Latn vs. iu-Cans.
