Syllabics.ca
Fully customizable Nation-specific learning.
A Platform for Indigenous Language Revitalization
Syllabics.ca provides communities with an Indigenous language revitalization platform built around Nation specific dialects and a high quality First Nations syllabics chart that learners can explore online or in print.
Why Choose Syllabics.ca
Syllabics.ca gives your community a powerful, customizable learning tool without the burden of managing servers, code, or technical upkeep. Your Nation and its unique dialect are the face of the platform, including your flag, your spelling system, your pronunciations, and your identity. We simply provide the secure infrastructure that supports it.
Each Nation’s version runs independently, with complete control over its own language content, data, and teaching approach. Nothing is blended across communities, and no cultural information is ever shared without permission. The interface is designed to be clear, youth friendly, and easy for new learners so the focus stays on practicing the language rather than navigating the software. You focus on revitalizing the language, and we make sure the technology remains reliable, accessible, and tailored to your needs.
