Greenlandic is an Eskimo–Aleut language spoken by about 57000 Greenlandic Inuit people in Greenland. It is closely related to the Inuit languages in Canada such as Inuktitut. The main dialect Kalaallisut or West Greenlandic has been the official language of the Greenlandic autonomous territory since June 2009; this is a move by the Greenlandic government to strengthen the language in its competition with the colonial language Danish.
