Inuktut Uqausiit (Inuit Languages) in Canada

edit

From http://staff.washington.edu/nfabbi/Inuktut%20Uqausiit.pdf : The Nunatsiavummiut (the Inuit from the Labrador regions of Nunatsiavut) were an exception.

The distinctive names for the Inuit Uqausiit of Canada’s Arctic are:

  • Inuvialuit region – Inuvialuktun and Iniunnaqtun (two major dialects)
  • Nunavut region – Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun (two major dialects)
  • Nunavik region – Inuttitut or Inuktitut (Ungava Bay and Hudson Bay, respectively)
  • Nunatsiavut – Inuttitut or Inuttut (one language, two interchangeable spellings).
