Hmm, I've been rather absorbed with certain interests lately, at the expense of everything but work. Unfortunately, it's not any productive or useful interest.

A very difficult question to answer indeed.

A very difficult question to answer indeed.
I've been learning a little Inuktitut because I want to end up doing field research as a marine biologist up around Northern Canada. I'm learning the Northern Baffin Dialect which is the one most commonly spoken along the islands. But I usually believe I'm entertaining delusions of grandeur and that learning Inuktitut is pointless. But still, I like the language enough to learn it regardless. That being said, I speak very little. It is an analytical language similar to Sino-Tibetan languages. Most of the time, an entire sentence can be one word long. For instance, "I am from Florida" is "Vulaaridamiutaujunga". But the word order is weird for me. I haven't really figured it out all the way through. I do know, however, that -Junga means I and almost always goes at the end of a statement as do -Jut(you) or -Juq(it, he, she).

I am more than 200% sure that Inuktitut is a polysynthetic language, which is the exact opposite of analytical. Did you even read my post on your thread? I explained everything.

I have a couple resources for Inuktitut, although I don't know what dialect they're in. I have an introductory course, introductory reference grammar, an intermediate course, and 25 80-page "trilingual" magazines in Inuktitut and English which seem to be mostly interviews and stories, so great reading material, with Inuktitut in both the Latin script and Canadian Syllabary. I could get you those if you want them.
As for me, I'm seriously considering learning Hungarian; it's awesome. I have everything and more I need to learn and practice it, except a good dictionary, so I'd probably have to buy one, but there aren't many English - Hungarian dictionaries.
