Details
The Greenlandic language is an Eskimo-Aleut language spoken by about 57,000 people in Greenland and Denmark. 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 Greelandic autonomous territory since June 2009. Other dialects are East Greenlandic (Tunumiisut) and the Thule dialect Inuktun. Greenlandic is a polysynthetic language that allows the creation of long words by stringing together roots and suffixes. Its morphosyntactic alignment is ergative. Nouns are inflected for one of the eight cases and for possession. Verbs are inflected for one of the eight moods and for the number and person of its subject and object. Both nouns ad verbs have complex derivational morphology. Basic word order in transitive clauses is Subject Object Verb. The language is written in the Latin script, and underwent an extensive orthographic reform in 1973.
