Inupiaq
Inupiaq is spoken throughout much of
northern Alaska and is closely related to the Canadian Inuit dialects and the
Greenlandic dialects, which may collectively be called "Inuit" or
Eastern Eskimo, distinct from Yupik or Western Eskimo. Alaska is home to about
13,500 Inupiat, of whom about 3,000, mostly over age 40, speak the language. The
Canadian Inuit population of 31,000 includes about 24,000 speakers. In
Greenland, a population of 46,400 includes 46,000 speakers.
