Image: Iñupiaq language map

Description: Map of the Iñupiaq language of Alaska and Canada as classified by Louis-Jacques Dorais. The blue, turquoise, violet, and purple shapes indicate the four primary dialects of the language: Malmiutun, North Slope, Bering Strait, and Qawiaraq. Within these shapes, labeled locations indicate communities where Iñupiaq is spoken today. The pale pastel shapes grouping these locations indicate subdialects; subdialects spoken in only one location are not indicated. .mw-parser-output .tpl-hidden{clear:both}.mw-parser-output .tpl-hidden>.mw-collapsible-toggle{float:none}.mw-parser-output .tpl-hidden::before{display:none}html.client-js .mw-parser-output .tpl-hidden-headertext{padding-left:18px}.mw-parser-output .tpl-hidden.mw-made-collapsible>.mw-collapsible-toggle>.tpl-hidden-headertext{background-image:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/10/MediaWiki_Vector_skin_action_arrow.png");background-position:left 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .tpl-hidden.mw-made-collapsible.mw-collapsed>.mw-collapsible-toggle>.tpl-hidden-headertext{background-image:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/41/MediaWiki_Vector_skin_right_arrow.png")} A note: This map is a linguistic representation of contemporary Iñupiaq speech communities and is not intended to serve as a representation of the ancestral territory of the Inuit or other indigenous nations. The contemporary distribution of Iñupiaq speakers has been considerably affected by colonialism and migration.
