"Languages, like people, come in families. French, Spanish and Italian belong to one family; Czech, Polish and Ukrainian belong to another family. In the NWT, there are three families of native languages. Most Native Indian people in the Mackenzie Valley speak one of the Dene languages; Gwich'in, North Slavey, South Slavey, Chipewyan, and Dogrib. This language family extends into Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Alaska and the southwestern United States. In all, about 6,000 people use these languages. At the moment, the Dene languages are basically oral, since few people in the Territories (probably no more than 400) can read or write them well. Although some elders still use syllabics, Dene languages are now written in Roman orthography and the alphabets have been standardized. A small number of people in the Territories speak Cree. Their language belongs to a different linguistic family, Algoquian. Cree is closely related to languages as Ojibway, Saulteaux, and Montagnais. In the East and along the Arctic Coast, most people speak a version of the Inuit language. In general, this language is referred to as Inuktitut, but the people of the Delta and Western Arctic prefer to use their local names for it - Inuvialuktun and Inuinnaqtun. There are six major dialects of Inuktitut in the NWT: Northern Quebec, Baffin, Keewatin, Arctic Coast, Western Arctic, and Delta. Some are similar to one another, with only slight variations in pronunciation and vocabulary. But others are very different, so that Inuit from different areas may have trouble understanding each other. (English-speakers from mainland Canada often run into similar problems when they visit Newfoundland, for example, or certain parts of the British Isles.) Inuktitut is written in two different ways. "Roman orthography", the same symbols that are used for English, is used in the West, while syllabics, symbols specially devised for native languages, are used in the East. Inuktitut is spoken by about 14,000 people in the Territories. Most Inuit read and write their language well."

"Languages, like people, come in families. French, Spanish and Italian belong to one family; Czech, Polish and Ukrainian belong to another family. In the NWT, there are three families of native languages. Most Native Indian people in the Mackenzie Valley speak one of the Dene languages; Gwich'in, North Slavey, South Slavey, Chipewyan, and Dogrib. This language family extends into Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Alaska and the southwestern United States. In all, about 6,000 people use these languages. At the moment, the Dene languages are basically oral, since few people in the Territories (probably no more than 400) can read or write them well. Although some elders still use syllabics, Dene languages are now written in Roman orthography and the alphabets have been standardized. A small number of people in the Territories speak Cree. Their language belongs to a different linguistic family, Algoquian. Cree is closely related to languages as Ojibway, Saulteaux, and Montagnais. In the East and along the Arctic Coast, most people speak a version of the Inuit language. In general, this language is referred to as Inuktitut, but the people of the Delta and Western Arctic prefer to use their local names for it - Inuvialuktun and Inuinnaqtun. There are six major dialects of Inuktitut in the NWT: Northern Quebec, Baffin, Keewatin, Arctic Coast, Western Arctic, and Delta. Some are similar to one another, with only slight variations in pronunciation and vocabulary. But others are very different, so that Inuit from different areas may have trouble understanding each other. (English-speakers from mainland Canada often run into similar problems when they visit Newfoundland, for example, or certain parts of the British Isles.) Inuktitut is written in two different ways. "Roman orthography", the same symbols that are used for English, is used in the West, while syllabics, symbols specially devised for native languages, are used in the East. Inuktitut is spoken by about 14,000 people in the Territories. Most Inuit read and write their language well."

"Languages, like people, come in families. French, Spanish and Italian belong to one family; Czech, Polish and Ukrainian belong to another family. In the NWT, there are three families of native languages. Most Native Indian people in the Mackenzie Valley speak one of the Dene languages; Gwich'in, North Slavey, South Slavey, Chipewyan, and Dogrib. This language family extends into Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Alaska and the southwestern United States. In all, about 6,000 people use these languages. At the moment, the Dene languages are basically oral, since few people in the Territories (probably no more than 400) can read or write them well. Although some elders still use syllabics, Dene languages are now written in Roman orthography and the alphabets have been standardized. A small number of people in the Territories speak Cree. Their language belongs to a different linguistic family, Algoquian. Cree is closely related to languages as Ojibway, Saulteaux, and Montagnais. In the East and along the Arctic Coast, most people speak a version of the Inuit language. In general, this language is referred to as Inuktitut, but the people of the Delta and Western Arctic prefer to use their local names for it - Inuvialuktun and Inuinnaqtun. There are six major dialects of Inuktitut in the NWT: Northern Quebec, Baffin, Keewatin, Arctic Coast, Western Arctic, and Delta. Some are similar to one another, with only slight variations in pronunciation and vocabulary. But others are very different, so that Inuit from different areas may have trouble understanding each other. (English-speakers from mainland Canada often run into similar problems when they visit Newfoundland, for example, or certain parts of the British Isles.) Inuktitut is written in two different ways. "Roman orthography", the same symbols that are used for English, is used in the West, while syllabics, symbols specially devised for native languages, are used in the East. Inuktitut is spoken by about 14,000 people in the Territories. Most Inuit read and write their language well."

"Languages, like people, come in families. French, Spanish and Italian belong to one family; Czech, Polish and Ukrainian belong to another family. In the NWT, there are three families of native languages. Most Native Indian people in the Mackenzie Valley speak one of the Dene languages; Gwich'in, North Slavey, South Slavey, Chipewyan, and Dogrib. This language family extends into Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Alaska and the southwestern United States. In all, about 6,000 people use these languages. At the moment, the Dene languages are basically oral, since few people in the Territories (probably no more than 400) can read or write them well. Although some elders still use syllabics, Dene languages are now written in Roman orthography and the alphabets have been standardized. A small number of people in the Territories speak Cree. Their language belongs to a different linguistic family, Algoquian. Cree is closely related to languages as Ojibway, Saulteaux, and Montagnais. In the East and along the Arctic Coast, most people speak a version of the Inuit language. In general, this language is referred to as Inuktitut, but the people of the Delta and Western Arctic prefer to use their local names for it - Inuvialuktun and Inuinnaqtun. There are six major dialects of Inuktitut in the NWT: Northern Quebec, Baffin, Keewatin, Arctic Coast, Western Arctic, and Delta. Some are similar to one another, with only slight variations in pronunciation and vocabulary. But others are very different, so that Inuit from different areas may have trouble understanding each other. (English-speakers from mainland Canada often run into similar problems when they visit Newfoundland, for example, or certain parts of the British Isles.) Inuktitut is written in two different ways. "Roman orthography", the same symbols that are used for English, is used in the West, while syllabics, symbols specially devised for native languages, are used in the East. Inuktitut is spoken by about 14,000 people in the Territories. Most Inuit read and write their language well."
