	Language Technology in Greenland
		Greenlandic in Greenland is not a symbolic language, and Greenland is not bilingual or Danish speaking.
		Greenland is officially and in reality Greenlandic speaking, and this to such a degree that the lack of knowledge of the foreign languages Danish and English, especially amongst young people and children, poses a major problem to the education system.
		Greenlandic survived on its own when it was exposed to a lot of pressure during the period of "danification", and it is today one of the most vital minority languages in the world.

		Greenlandic pictorial art began in the middle of the 19th century, when Greenlanders also layed the groundwork for their modern written literature.
		Greenland had been a Danish colony since Hans Egede arrived in 1721 and took possession of the land in the name of the Danish king.
		In a country where language has become the major identity marker, pictorial art is also a place of refuge, where artists who do not fully master the Greenlandic language can come to terms with their Greenlandic identity without feeling inferior.

	Language/eskimo words for snow derby
		Languages vary quite drastically in how the base units of meaning (morphemes) are combined into words, if they're combined at all, and our common notion of "word" needs clarifying.
		The Eskimo languages are at the other extreme, and are the prototypical example of a polysynthetic language[2], wherein one word contains several elements of the situation.
		The Eskimo languages use derived words extensively, and there are fewer than 2,000 base stems in the West Greenlandic dialect[1] With all that said, I'll just present some word lists and let everyone come up with their own opinion...

	Anne Fox :: Weblog :: 'The one you throw stones at'
		However I was surprised to learn that in Greenland this is not the case and that many Greenlanders cannot themselves speak Greenlandic or that they forget the language after having completed their education in Denmark.
		The language is certainly constructed differently to English and Danish for example with many nouns being replaced by a descriptive phrase.
		The example mentioned in the podcast is that of the ptarmigan bird which in Greenlandic translates as 'the one you throw stones at'.

		Based on a synchronic analysis, and on the written and oral West Greenlandic language (henceforth Greenlandic), the aim is to investigate mutual interactions of A: affixes of tense, B: affixes of tense and adverbs of time, C: affixes of tense and the verbal stem and D: affixes of tense and the mood.
		In many languages the tense system is binary, thus in English and Danish there is a past/non-past opposition, which means that past tense is marked, while present/non-past can be used to mark the present and the future (Comrie, 1993/85:49).
		The structure of the verb The Greenlandic language is a polysynthetic language, where the basic formation of a verb is: Stem + (derivational affix(es)) + inflection.
