Greenlandic is an Eskimo–Aleut language spoken by about 57,000 people, primarily Greenlandic Inuit in Greenland. Closely related to Canadian Inuit languages like Inuktitut, it is the most widely spoken language in its family. In June 2009, Greenland's government declared Greenlandic the sole official language to strengthen it against Danish influence. The main dialect is Kalaallisut (West Greenlandic), followed by Tunumiit oraasiat (East Greenlandic). Greenlandic is polysynthetic, enabling the formation of long words through the combination of roots and suffixes. It was introduced to Greenland by the Thule/Proto Inuit people in the 1200s.

Greenland is a North American autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, alongside the Faroe Islands. Both territories' citizens are full Danish citizens. Nuuk is Greenland's capital and largest city. Positioned between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Greenland is the world's largest island and home to the northernmost point on Earth, Kaffeklubben Island. Greenland is noted for its vast tundra and immense glaciers.

Hunting is integral to Greenlandic culture, with many Greenlanders still hunting part-time for food and materials. The kayak, a traditional hunting vessel made from seal skin over a whalebone or driftwood frame, is a cultural icon. Although igloos are often associated with all Inuit, they were traditionally used only by the people of Canada's Central Arctic and the Qaanaaq area of Greenland. Sled dogs and dog sledding are also significant cultural elements. Greenlandic cuisine features fish, seafood, and marine mammal meat, including seal and whale, as well as reindeer, birds, and other game. A tradition called 'kaffemik' involves families welcoming guests into their homes for celebrations. Traditional crafts made from stone, bone, skins, and beads are available throughout Greenland.

If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Greenlandic language has two main dialects kalaallisut (West Greenlandic) and Tunumiisut (East Greenlandic)
The dialect used in the video is probably kalaallisut

Idk why, but hearing that Greenlandic, which has 50 000 speakers, is the most spoken language in its language family, made me sad.


It is a very beautiful and unique language.

The R sound is same to that of French.
The Q and the K sounds exactly same to me.
Is there any difference between these?

Greenlandic phonology is likely influenced by Danish. I notice ‘R’ is gutteral, similar to Danish, Standard German and French.
