Inuktitut is an Indigenous Inuit language that is spoken in the Canadian Arctic. The name Inuktitut is composed of two words: “Inuk,” which means “person,” and “titut,” which mean “in the manner of.” Although “Inuktitut” is used as a general term to refer to all Canadian Inuit languages, there are many different dialects and languages of Inuit origin spoken across North America, and Inuktitut is just one of them. Inuktitut is traditionally spoken by the Inuit Eskimo people across Canada, and people in different regions speak different dialects of the language. There are around six dialects, and although they are mutually intelligible, they do have certain differences in vocabulary that make them easily differentiable from each other. Inuktitut is written in both Latin and the Inuktitut syllabary, which is a unique writing system that consists of geometric shapes and lines. Inuktitut is officially recognized in some parts of Canada, such as Nunavut and Nunavik, and some schools offer immersion programs in the language, especially in Nunavik. There have also been colleges that offer a course in Inuktitut, but there are few learners at the college level.
