Greenlandic, also known as Kalaallisut, is spoken by about 55,000 people in Greenland and Denmark. An agglutinative language, it forms complex words by adding suffixes to roots. Greenlandic's use of the Latin alphabet reflects a blending of traditional Inuit culture with European influences. It serves as a key aspect of Greenlandic identity and official communication.
