Inuvialuktun

[8] Rather than a coherent language, Inuvialuktun is a politically motivated[citation needed] grouping of three quite distinct and separate varieties.

[7][9] Inuvialuktun, Inuinnaqtun and Inuktitut constitute three of the eleven official languages of the Northwest Territories.

Inuit from Alaska moved into traditionally Siglit areas in the 1910s and 1920s, enticed in part by renewed demand for furs from the Hudson's Bay Company.

Originally, there was an intense dislike between the Siglit and the Uummarmiut, but these differences have faded over the years, and the two communities are thoroughly intermixed these days.

Most Inuit languages have fifteen consonants and three vowel qualities (with phonemic length distinctions for each).
