There is no actual or singular "Inuit" language.  Scholars use the term "Inuit language" for a matter of convenience to reflect a geographic group of people, however, there are many languages spoken by Inuit people - languages which in several cases appear to have no direct relationship to each other in modern comprehension nor development.  Most Inuit languages are grouped under the family "Eskimo/Aluet" languages.

==Inuit Diet==
    
Since the Inuit live in a region of [[permafrost]], they do not consume many plants. Their diet primarily consists of fish caught through iceholes and [[seal]]s, [[walrus]]es, or auks caught by [[spear]]hunting. Occasionally they would kill a [[polar bear]] to eat, but as with any bear, the meat is often not worth the danger of the hunt. In the [[whale]] spawning season, the Inuit would venture onto the thawed waters and hunt the great animals for their meat and [[blubber]], a natural insulator for their homes and a wax substitute for [[candle]]s.
