Inuktitut

Inuktitut is spoken in Canada, mainly in Nunavut, Nunavik (northern Quebec), the Northwest Territories, and Nunatsiavut (northern Labrador). It is an official language of Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. Closely related Inuit languages are spoken in Alaska and Greenland.
Inuktitut belongs to the Inuit branch of the Eskimo-Aleut family. It is a polysynthetic language, in which long words are built by adding many suffixes to a root, so that a single word can express what English says in a whole sentence. In the eastern Arctic it is written in Inuktitut syllabics, adapted in the 19th century from a script missionaries created for Cree; elsewhere it is written in the Roman alphabet. About 40,000 people speak it, and it remains the first language of most Inuit in Nunavut and Nunavik.
