ESKALEUT: NORTH SLOPE IÑUPIAQ & CENTRAL ALASKAN YUPIK

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes. It aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to viewers, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of different languages and their unique characteristics. By raising awareness about linguistic diversity, the video seeks to foster a greater respect and recognition for various languages, particularly those that are endangered or underrepresented. Additionally, it contributes to the preservation of languages by documenting and sharing linguistic knowledge, thus ensuring that these languages and their cultural heritage are not lost to future generations.

Iñupiaq is an Inuit language spoken by the Iñupiat people in northern and northwestern Alaska and a small part of the Northwest Territories in Canada. It belongs to the Eskaleut language family. There are approximately 2,000 speakers, most of whom are over the age of 40, making it a threatened language. Iñupiaq is also an official language of the State of Alaska, alongside several other indigenous languages.

Central Alaskan Yupʼik, or Yugtun, is a language from the Yupik family within the Eskaleut language group, spoken in western and southwestern Alaska. It represents the largest group of Alaska Natives in terms of both ethnic population and number of speakers. As of 2010, Yupʼik was the second most spoken indigenous language in the United States, following Navajo. It is distinct from Central Siberian Yupik and Naukan Yupik, which are spoken in Chukotka and St. Lawrence Island.
