Greenland

Kalaallisut

also: West Greenlandic, Greenlandic

The West Greenlandic standard and the official language of Greenland. The most-spoken Inuit variety, with continuous use in education, literature, and media.

Tunumiisut

also: East Greenlandic

The Inuit language of east Greenland, centred on Tasiilaq. So divergent from West Greenlandic in pronunciation and lexicon that the two are barely mutually intelligible; often classified as a separate language.

Inuktun

also: Polar Eskimo, Avanersuarmiutut

The Inuit language of north-western Greenland around Qaanaaq, the world's northernmost Indigenous language community. Linguistically closer to Canadian Inuktitut than to Kalaallisut.

Greenlandic Danish

The Danish of Greenland, co-official with Kalaallisut. Used widely in administration and education; carries some contact features from Kalaallisut.
