10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Recently I googled an Inuktitut term that was
supposed to refer to sign language, and Google gave me directions to a
Wikipedia article with a List of Sign Languages. Does anyone know who wrote
this? It’s for this reason:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>To my amazement, this article listed Inuit Sign
Language as well as Inuktitut Sign Language, each with a different Inuktitut
translation (or I guess it is an Inuktitut translation as I do not know the
language). As I am working on a description of (parts of) the Inuit Sign
Language used in Canada, I would be interested to know to which languages the
labels Inuit SL and Inuktitut SL apply, and where the Inuktitut translation
comes from. Does anyone on the SLLing List know who wrote this Wikipedia
article? I would like to ask him/her where the information about these two
languages came from, as I had not come across it before.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
