Considering this vast territory, it is remarkable that there are only two major dialects of Eskimo, and that one of them, known as Inupik, is spoken almost uniformly across Greenland, Canada, and northern Alaska.
But at an imaginary line running east-west across central Alaska there is an abrupt change: Eskimos living south of this line speak a dialect, known as Yupik, that is completely unintelligible to Inupik speakers.
The line reaches Norton Sound on the west coast between the towns of Unalakleet, where Inupik is spoken, and St. Michael, which is Yupik-speaking.

The Eskimos of Greenland are Inupik speakers and so are correctly called Inuit, but they generally prefer to be called "Kalaallit" after Kalaallit Nunaat, their name for Greenland.
The common objection to the use of "Eskimo" is that it comes from an Algonquian word meaning "eaters of raw flesh." That no longer seems so certain, as Cecil alluded to in this column.

Yuit is spoken in northern Siberia, Yupik along the central Alaskan coast, Aleut in the Aleutians, and Inupik from northern Alaska across Arctic Canada to Greenland and Labrador.
All these stem from the same linguistic roots but are mutually unintelligible.
Inupik speakers occupy a greater land area than any other language in the world - there are only dialectic differences between people living in isolated groups thousands of miles apart.
