	Inuvialuktun Information Center - Inuvialuktun
		Inuvialuktun is spoken by the Inuit of the Mackenzie River delta in the Northwest Territories, Banks Island, part of Victoria Island and the Arctic Ocean coast of the Nothwest Territories - the lands of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
		However, the official understanding of Inuvialuktun is somewhat at variance to the way linguists understand it.
		Originally, there was an intense dislike between Inuvialuktun the Siglit and the Uummarmiut, but these differences have faded over the years, and the two communities are thoroughly intermixed these days.

		Unlike Inuktitut, which is a very strong language, the Inuvialuktun dialect has been in decline for a number of years.

		With the creation of the new Northwest Territories, the status of Inuvialuktun will likely change – it will have to be accounted for as a distinct NWT language.
