@@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.

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

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
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.

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.
Groenlandia es el único país norteamericano que tiene su propio idioma oficial, ni EE.UU, ni México ni cualquier otro lo tiene. Aunque teóricamente sí se podría tener.

Dialects with differents accents.

@@mr.goodman3991 Is inuktitut and greenlandic intelligible?
Wow, what a beautiful language. So pleasant sounding
Brilliant! Please do more of these to highlight this interesting language!
With 56000 population, you guys developed different dialects bro.
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
I love this! Thank you!
Greenland is most definitely on my list. Must be great to visit.

I love Greenland.... My mother.... My dream destination... Tc lots all....
that's interesting because iih in my mother tongue (Banjarese, a Bornean lingua franca) also means yes
Sounds like we have that in common.
We know that Inuktitut/Northern Canadian is also the same or similar.
Where can I look to learn this language? I love languages, and I doubt this one is available on duolingo.

Generally, no, these are not mutually intelligible dialects.

Quite different 👌🏻

Have the other two dialects retained their native word for the number 100? Since West Greenlandic obviously borrows "hundred" pronouncing it either as "untritillit" or more commonly as "hunnorujut"
I think they are similar in that they have Inuit roots?
Yes, we are Inuk/Inuit.
We even are able to understand Inuktitut from Nunavut. It is like it is a different Inuit dialect.
Cool! Do speakers of one dialect understand the others?
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.

Unfortunately not.
Some advice are usually:
Try and live there to learn it. :)

Wow 3 dialects. Would there be a dialect that’s considered the “standard” dialect that all people try to speak in for formal situations?

I have a question for native Greenlandic speakers. To what degree can you understand the other three dialects? Are they mutually inteligible?
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.
