Inuktitut is an Inuit language of the Canadian Arctic, spoken mainly in Nunavut and in Nunavik, the Inuit region of northern Quebec, with related varieties in Labrador and the Northwest Territories. It belongs to the Inuit-Yupik-Unangan family, formerly called Eskimo-Aleut, and closely related Inuit speech extends from Alaska to Greenland, where the distinct national language is Greenlandic. Inuktitut is polysynthetic: a single long word can carry the meaning of a full English sentence. It is written both in syllabics, adapted in the nineteenth century from the Cree writing system, and in the Latin alphabet. Inuktitut is an official language of Nunavut alongside English and French. Canadian censuses record tens of thousands of speakers, and the language remains strong in many eastern Arctic communities.
