Me too! :)

Hey barbs

Wow Barby is here

What up Barby!

Geography Now hi please reply

Yes, generally is their 3 dialects, but, every city or settlement has their own dialects. The three general are North, West, and East Greenland. Kindly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland

Well they were 105 befor 1960s or more but now they are only 50 dialects

Dialects with differents accents.

@@visitgreenland If I wanted to learn Greenlandic do I just choose a random dialect to learn 🤔

@@thestruggler7926 It may depend on how and where you wish to use it. But I will advice you to learn west Greenlandic. Then you have a better chance understanding all Greenlandic dialects. The northern and the southern dielects has some tongue bending or other dielect waves difficulties that can be really nice to know. The once that can be hard even for a west Greenlander is the Inughuit and East Greenlandic since they have different pronaunsations. Friendly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland

Where is this writing from and what does it mean.?

Coolest script ever

@@hannelaursensabine2259 i think it’s “inuktitut” a canadian nunavut language

@@mr.goodman3991 Is inuktitut and greenlandic intelligible?

Every settlement would have its own way of speech. Dialects only disappear when standardization happens or huge demographic change happens

I imagine that isolation and significant distance between settlements would increase the likelihood of distinct dialects evolving, even among a smaller population

Aluu/Hello NorthSea 1981 Kindly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland :)

@@visitgreenland I would love to visit! I'm originally from Cuxhaven, which was Nuuk's partner city/twin town for many years (1987-2011 I think). It's sad the partnership was annulled due to the structural reform in Greenland.

@@NorthSea_1981 Thank you for your informative text. I hope your wish will come true one lovely day. So you can see and experience our country yourself. Kindly, Aningaaq - VG

@@NorthSea_1981 Wow i didnt know that 🙂 Apperently royal greenland is a part of a company in Cuxhaven. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼

Sounds like we have that in common. We know that Inuktitut/Northern Canadian is also the same or similar.

Pilot Boi Thats dope af! i love greenland

I upload war thunder content like every day it’s not vids im streaming but in danish there are subtitles in englesh

Isso é muito gentil da sua parte... e obrigado por isso. Sempre há um caminho para a oportunidade. 💫

Dear Christian, Generally, no, these are not mutually intelligible dialects. But we always have some words that we do understand, in that way we are able to understand each other, partly. Likewise, we are with our Inuit neighbors from Nunavut, Northern Canada. Kindly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland

@@visitgreenland How do the users of different Greenlandic dialects communicate with each other? Do they use a lingua franca (if the answer is yes, which one)?

@@mariksen Danish, I would imagine.

@@mariksen western dialect is taught in schools since it's the "main" dialect in greenland.

Dear OneSkiWonder, If you are thinking to proceed to look into possibilities in learning Greenlandic, here is a link to The Language Secretariat of Greenland: oqaasileriffik.gl/en/ I hope that helps you well. Friendly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland

How can you maintained this language when you are a population of 5400 people taking it?I think it need spread a little more because some languages went extinct due that they did not passed to their generation or simply they adapted to another and abadoned their own language it was not useful for their own survival

@@yordannydelvalle3301 it has over 50.000 speakers, not 5400

Yes, it does sound like it is. Even a local can struggle to understand one another. :) Friendly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland

Yes, you can say that. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Friendly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland

I’m not greenlandic, but the greenlandic word for greenlandic is kalaallisut. I think the double L is pronounced like “sh” but with the tongue shape of L.

Dear Marvin, That depends. Some have difficulty understanding certain sentences. Inuit from the North and east understands quite well west Greenlandic. Since west Greenlandic is learned in primary schools. But that can be difficult if it is the other way around. Friendly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland.

Yes, we are Inuk/Inuit. We even are able to understand Inuktitut from Nunavut. It is like it is a different Inuit dialect.

Thank you for your question. The West Greenlandic dialects understand each other best not to mention some words could be misunderstood since one or two words could mean different or opposite. However, regarding the far north, the Inuhhuit dialect, Qaanaaq, and east Greenlandic dialects are unique dialects since they have their own way of communicating by verbal and text. I hope that answers your question.

Dear Forresrmonk, Yes, children in the public school learn Danish. It is hard to answer if most of them talk fluently. But we do more or less undestand Danish and English. Friendly, Aningaaq Rosing Carlsen

@@visitgreenland Thank you so much I really want to visit sometime soon.

Dear Kailoma, Unfortunately not. Some advice are usually: Try and live there to learn it. :) Friendly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland.

No, they're completely different languages, two different families, can't compare them in any way. It's like comparing Dutch and Somali. They do learn Danish in school in Greenland though, but the two languages have nothing to do with each other. Using the examples from the video, we can compare the sentences in Greenlandic, and then in Danish. "Hello, how are you / I'm fine, and you?" Greenlandic: Haluu, qanoq ippit? / Ajunngilanga, illimmi? Danish: Hej, hvordan har du det? / Jeg har det godt, hvad med dig? "Would you like a cup of coffee? / Yes, thank you" Greenlandic: Kaffisorusuppit? / Aap, qujanaq Danish: Vil du have en kop kaffe? / Ja, tak skal du have

It does have some influence I believe, as evidenced by the use of "kaffi" in "kaffisorusuppit".

Yes because minecraft has been around for over 500 years

Dear Popp, Well google is not the way. :) Appippisi is a question if they played or if they started playing, I am guessing playing Music. You might find a way by Oqaasileriffik. oqaasileriffik.gl/en/dict/ Friendly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland

@@visitgreenland thank you for your reply ❤️❤️❤️

That is a very good question, Carol V. Kindly, Aningaaq - Visit Greenland

No it’s an indigenous language

It’s an indigenous language .-.

I don't speak Finnish but it kind of reminds me of Finnish

I would say the Greenlandic languages belong to the family of inuit languages - together with, for example, inuktun or inuktitut. Spoken across Greenland, Nunavut and Nunavik regions, Alaska and very limited in Russia.
