Indigenous Peoples of Canada The Inuit language , like other Eskimo Aleut languages , has a very rich morphological system, in which a succession of different morpheme s are added to root words to indicate things that, in languages like English, would require several words to express. See also Agglutinative language and Polysynthetic language All Inuit language words begin with a root morpheme to which other morphemes are suffixed. The language has hundreds of distinct suffixes, in some dialects as many as 700. Fortunately for the learners, the language has a highly regular morphology. Although the rules are many, and sometimes very complicated, they do not have exceptions in the sense that English and other Indo European languages do. This system makes words very long, and potentially unique. For example, in Nunavut Inuktitut tusaatsiarunnanngittualuujunga I can t hear very well. This long word is composed of a root word tusaa to hear followed by five suffixes table tr th tsiaq th td well td tr tr th junnaq th td be able to td tr tr th nngit th td not td tr tr th tualuu th td very much td tr tr th junga th td 1st pers. singular present indicative non specific td tr table Note the consonant sandhi see Inuit language phonology and phonetics Consonant sandhi Inuit ... before it.

Infobox language name Inuit Sign Language altname Dhuwala states Canada region speakers familycolor Sign family village sign language village sign iso3 linglist 1is Inuit Sign Language ISL , also known as Eskimo Sign Language or Dhuwala , is a village sign language used by both the deaf and the hearing in Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic , including Nunavut and perhaps northern Quebec and Nova Scotia . It appears to be a fully developed language, in that it can be used to discussed various topics and convey emotion. Several of these communities have large deaf populations, and both the hearing and deaf are proficient in it, as in other communities with high rates of congenital deafness such as Martha s Vineyard Sign Language Martha s Vineyard . In addition, hearing people have been observed to use it for inter dialectical communication with Inuit from other communities. MacDougall 2000 notes that this is not unusual for nomadic hunters and others living in isolated places , suggesting that it may not have originated as a sign language for the deaf.
