Inuktitut

Also called Inupiaq/Inupiat, one is the name of the lingo, the other is the
name of the people. Atleast in Alaska.

Also there is the Yupik, as well as Siberian Yupik people of St.Lawrence
Island as well as parts of Siberia directly across from St.Lawrence. Also
there was supposedly a small group on Inupiat on the Siberian coast, as well
as a possible other group of a related lingo to Inupiaq. (I get Inupiaq and
Inupiat mixed up at times, but I am just a crazy Gusiq/nIllamuit).

Also their is the related lingos spoken by the two Aleut groups, one is like
Aleutiq and the other I forget. As well as their is/was a group of "Eskimos"
living in Eklutna or someplace around Anchorage, but they have seen mostly
vanished. Not like it was all the modern age fault, since when the Russian
came to Alaska, the Tlingits were moving North, and the Athabaskans were
moving south, all converging (or would have converged) at Kodiaq (Kodiak)
Island.

Inupiaq is a very interesting lingo, there is a wide variety of dielects, or
shadings to it..

Quyanna, or Taku-Taku for Thank you.
Imiq/Muk for drink

and others that I don't know.
