Inuktitut is an indigenous language spoken primarily by the Inuit people in Canada, particularly in the northern regions such as Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. It is part of the Eskimo-Aleut language family and has several dialects, reflecting the diverse communities that speak it. The language uses a unique writing system that includes syllabics, which represent sounds rather than individual letters. Inuktitut is an important aspect of Inuit culture and identity, serving as a means of communication and a way to preserve traditional knowledge and stories.
