Name of Coral Harbour in Inuktitut

This article gives the Inuktitut version of Coral Harbour as Salliit. However, in the Atlas of Canada, http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/learningresources/facts/nunavut_communities/corhar.html the name is clearly Salliq. Also, the Wikipedia link to the Coral Harbour Airport shows a photograph with a sign showing ᓴᓪᓕᕐᒃ , which transliterates to Salliq. I’m wondering if there is a grammatical case difference between the two. Anyone know which of the two forms is correct? Languagegeek (talk) 14:35, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure, but the Nunavut Living dictionary (here) gives ᓴᓪᓖᑦ Salliit: Coral Harbour, and ᓴᓪᓕᖅ Salliq: on the nearest side, flat island, island near to land. The only difference between the two is that salliit seems to be the plural form of salliq. On the article Sadlermiut, we even find a more archaic spelling, Sadlerk. - Io Katai (talk) 15:02, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: More interestingly enough, here are Google results for each word: ᓴᓪᓖᑦ - Salliit - ᓴᓪᓕᖅ - Salliq. - Io Katai (talk) 01:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ᓴᓪᓖᑦ != Salliq

There is a conflict of names within this article, ᓴᓪᓖᑦ (Salliit) is the name the most widely used and provided in a number of dictionaries, ᓴᓪᓕᖅ (Salliq) on the other hand is much more widely used to refer to Southampton Island as a whole (e.g. Google Maps makes the distinction). As seen in the discussion above, the matter concerning the spelling used in the picture of Coral Harbour Airport is another issue. - Io Katai (talk) 21:33, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After going through various link I came to the conclusion that ᓴᓪᓖᑦ is more widely used than ᓴᓪᓕᖅ but Salliq is more widely used than Salliit. Part of the problem in searching for Salliit is there is another one in Greenland The Pirurvik Centre at Tusaalanga uses Salliit and confirms that it is the plural of Salliq. Waddington's auction house uses both. In this document by the GN they use Salliit but in this they use Salliq, however, in the NNI syllabic listing they have ᓴᓪᓖᑦ but the Inuinnaqtun version uses Saliit (a third spelling) while in a fourth GN site they use Salliq. I see that former MLA, Manitok Thompson, who is from Coral Harbour, called it Salliit but former Commissioner of Nunavut, Peter Irniq, who has been outspoken on the correct spellings, uses Salliq. The Museum of Civilization uses Salliit. News North (ᓴᓪᓕᖅ) and Nunavut Tourism both use Salliq. This was one of the few that uses Salliq as the Inuit name for Southampton Island. I tried a slightly different search using salliit coral harbour and salliq coral harbour which seems to be heavily in favour of Salliq. Those searches show that the Office of the Language Commissioner uses Salliit. Kivalliq School Operations uses Salliq as does Sakku School. I also checked in the phone directory, in English section they use only Coral Harbour and in the Inuktitut version they have ᓴᓪᓕᖅ the same as at the picture of Coral Harbour Airport. By the way I came across File:InuitPlaceNames.png but it could have been user created.

What might be going on here is something similar to Kugluktuk/Qurluktuk and Taloyoak/Talurjuaq. Seeing as there are reliable sources on both sides it might be best to include both versions. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 15:48, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then we should have both spellings mentioned, just don't mix the improper romanization and inuktitut spelling, as you have done in the current version of the article. - Io Katai (talk) 23:31, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Take it easy we all make mistakes and doing that was one of mine. It was just an accident based on Salliq and ᓴᓪᓖᑦ being more common than Salliit and ᓴᓪᓕᖅ. I've added them all Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 00:50, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
