Syllabics

The audio files in the left-hand column illustrate the pronunciation of the syllabics in each row (except for the finals).
The addition of a dot · over a symbol indicates a long vowel.
These pronunciations represent the South Baffin Dialect.
You can also listen to the syllabics song.

This page uses Unicode encodings to display the syllabics; if these do not show up properly in your browser,
you can try a version of the page that uses image files instead.
