Ulaakut! Andyujunga. Qanuipit?
Good day! I'm Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Inuktitut language.

Inuktitut, also known as Eastern Canadian Inuktitut, is a principal Inuit language of Canada spoken in regions north of the North American tree line, including parts of Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, northeastern Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. It is an official language in Nunavut (alongside Inuinnaqtun, collectively known as Inuktut) and one of eight official native languages in the Northwest Territories. It also has legal recognition in Nunavik, Quebec. According to the 2016 Canadian census, 37,570 out of 70,540 Inuit identified Inuktitut as their mother tongue.

The Inuktitut syllabary, based on the Cree syllabary created by missionary James Evans, is one of the Aboriginal languages written with Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. Its current form was adopted by the Inuit Cultural Institute in the 1970s. In contrast, Inuit in Alaska, Inuvialuit, Inuinnaqtun speakers, and Inuit in Greenland and Labrador use Latin alphabets.

The Inuit, meaning "the people," are Indigenous peoples from the Arctic and subarctic regions of North America, including Greenland, parts of Canada, Alaska, and Russia. They speak languages from the Eskaleut family. Inuit culture features distinct practices such as throat singing (katajjaq), where two women perform duets without instruments, and traditional tattoos (kakiniit), mainly among women, marking significant life transitions like womanhood. The Inuit have unique spiritual beliefs, including seeing ancestor spirits in the aurora borealis. Their traditional dwellings include Igloos & Qarmat. Muktuk, a traditional food, consists of whale skin and blubber, eaten raw or prepared in various ways. Inuksuit are stone landmarks used for navigation and marking important sites.
