Documents including Carrier language material are often available in more than one version, each using a different writing system. The file names below encode the writing system. "clc" stands for Carrier Linguistic Committee, the practical writing system in general use today. "ipa" stands for International Phonetic Alphabet. This is the writing system generally used by linguists for technical purposes. (For further information on these writing systems, see the page on Writing Systems.) In most cases we can also produce versions in which the Dakelh language material is written in syllabics or in the Morice Roman system. If a version is not listed in the writing system that you prefer, please contact us. It will probably be possible to provide it.
