About the Greenlandic language 

Greenlandic is part of the Inuit languages spoken in Alaska, Canada and Greenland. It is divided into three dialects:  West Greenlandic, East Greenlandic and Thule Greenlandic. West Greenlandic is the official language in Greenland, along with Danish.

Greenlandic is a ‘polysynthetic’ language, which means that words are formed with a root, one or more affixes and a suffix. It has long and very descriptive words, such as Eyjafjallajokull – probably the most well-known Icelandic volcano after the 2010 eruption -; this word consists of three separate words: “eyja” (island), “fjall” (mountain), and “jokull” (glacier). Like other languages they can use a lot of creativity to create new words, for example, the word “computer” is qarasaasiaq (artificial brain).
