The '''Inuit language''' group is a term for the languages spoken across the Arctic region by the Inuit people.  It is an agglutinative language (meaning, the language adds prefix, infix and suffixes to words to make new words and phrases).  Though they are highly regular in their grammar, Innuit languages tend to be difficult to describe, since "parts of speech" ([[nouns]], [[verbs]], [[adjectives]]) are not generally recognized or are fluid.  A word that acts as a noun can be used as a verb in another construction, or can function as both in a third construction.

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.
