Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Icelandic is a North Germanic language from the Indo-European language family, while Greenlandic is an Eskimo–Aleut language. Despite Iceland's proximity to Greenland, there has been no influence of Greenlandic on Icelandic in terms of vocabulary or pronunciation. Greenlanders were semi-nomadic hunters and gatherers with no organized society and lacked seafaring capabilities, limiting their contact with Iceland. Their coastal fishing skills and later high-sea fishing techniques were learned from Icelanders and Faroese people about 150 years ago. Icelanders, who were skilled seafarers, settled in Southern and Western Greenland in 985 CE, before the arrival of the Inuit from North America 200 years later. Despite contact between the two cultures, their languages did not mutually influence each other. This is just a fun comparison!
