The Inuit language is traitionally spoken across the North American Arctic and to some extent in the subarctic in Labrador. It is also to spoken in far eastern Russia, particularly the Diomede Islands, but is severely endangered in Russia today and is spoken only in a few villages on the Chukotka peninsula. The Inuit live primarily in three countries: Greenland (an autonomous province of Denmark), Canada, and the U.S. state of Alaska.
