Inuktitut is the Inuit language as it is spoken in Nunavut and contains many different dialects depending on location. The majority of speakers in neighbouring communities have few issues communicating with one another but ones further away from each other wouldn't be able to.
At Indigneous Languages of Manitoba, we are committed and dedicated to the revitalization and preservation of Indigenous Languages and want to shed light on the dire situations that our languages are in;
Inuktitut has 39 770 speakers in Canada (0.1% of the total population)(Statistics Canada, 2017), with 65 of those being in Manitoba (0.005% of the provincial population)(Statistics Canada, 2017). The language is considered vulnerable (ELP, n.d) as the language is used regularly by people of all ages.
