The Gwich’in language is the Athabaskan language of the Gwich’in indigenous people. It is also known in older or dialect-specific publications as Kutchin Takudh Tukudh or Loucheux. In the Northwest Territories and Yukon of Canada it is used principally in the towns of Inuvik Aklavik Fort McPherson Old Crow and Tsiigehtchic (formerly Arctic Red River). There are about 430 Gwich’in speakers in Canada out of a total Gwich’in population of 1900.
