Eskaleut languages are a small language family that includes the Inuit and Aleut languages, spoken primarily in the Arctic regions of North America and northeastern Siberia. The Inuit languages, such as Inuktitut and Greenlandic, are spoken by Indigenous peoples in Canada, Greenland, and Alaska, while Aleut is spoken in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. Eskaleut languages are characterized by their polysynthetic structure, which allows for the creation of complex words by combining various morphemes, and their use of rich systems for expressing spatial relationships and environmental features. These languages have significant cultural importance, reflecting the traditions, histories, and identities of the communities that speak them. The study of Eskaleut languages provides insights into the adaptation and resilience of Indigenous peoples in harsh Arctic environments.
