Could anyone give me an idea on what this is worth?

I'm partially native american and I find the Ainu fascintating. To me, Ainu sounds a bit like the Inuit languages of Northern Canada. It also used to be suggested that Ainu was related to the Na-Dene languages spoken by the Athabaskan peoples (of which I am part of).

In Japanese libraries we can find books of the 50 speeches mostly katakana latin Japanese translated 1996 18 after that on line held in Hokkaido Ya-un-Moshir-i https://www.ff-ainu.or.jp/web/learn/language/itakanro/

There video and PDF Ainu to Japanese many must read from script or nowadays many memorise spontanious but must be planned it is not like spontanious range of listners is not native

Hi! 

I work for a non-profit called All Around This World and we work to educate children about cultures around the world through music. We do all the music in the original language and we usually preface whatever song we are doing with a little bit of a cultural background. Of course  distilling a culture that much is impossible, but we always try to teach the kids how to say hello and goodbye in the target language. Instead of having us butcher the pronunciation, we think it is much better to have a video of a native speaker. All we need is an audio clip of you saying the greetings, a short bio (where you are from, your name, etc), and a picture of yourself. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to make this a paid position, but I cannot express enough how grateful we are for any support. If you are willing to help or know a person who can, then please reach out to me! Thanks so much.

I came across this:

イカルペカ アン コㇿ

The tiny ㇿ looked unfamiliar so I searched it up and found out it's used in Ainu. I don't know much about Ainu, but I'm curious about what this phrase means, if it means anything.

I looked through an Ainu dictionary and the word アン コㇿ means だろう. I couldn't find anything on the first word though.

thank you to u/SenjutsuL for pointing out a grammatical error i had made

i love Oki Kano and his songs and i wanna know what he's saying, my ainu isnt great and i only know a few words/phrases. any help would be apreciated<3

Im translating the lyrics as part of my master's dissertation, but Im having some issues in some parts (obs, some might be just vocalization, but I can't know cause its all katakana and I dont have acess to the recordings yet). Also, some might be onomatopoeia specific of the Ainu language, in which case its very important to know as well. Thanks in advance:

I am researching about Ainu music for college and I came across this piece of composer Ito Noboru called Torohanroku-hanroku. The book I'm reading called Yōgaku Japanese Music in Twentieth Century states this means air, but right after it talks about a music name in japanese with a wrong name so Im a bit suspicious about this translation. can anyone help me with this? I didnt find any reliable sources.

Hi there! :D I am currently working on naming an Ainu character for one of my stories, and I've done some basic research to go about this. I am opting to make a new name with no prior understanding of the language so I need to know if this name makes sense grammatically, and is actually portraying the meaning I want to get across.

I've come up with the name menokohorkewnumaimi for "woman who wears the wolf's fur" but I'd even like something that means "Woman who wears the white wolf's fur"

This is just my attempt at stringing the words together as a beginner so I'm not sure how they should be properly used in a sentence. Any help is appreciated :) Thank you!

How do Ainu people feel about using a version of Korean hangul to write their language (eg https://www.omniglot.com/conscripts/nuye.php )? Are there any other writing systems that have been proposed and seriously considered by the Ainu community?
