language of the Canadian Inuit. In Holman, a dialect of Inuktitut is spoken, called Inuinnaqtun. In the Western Arctic the language is written in the Roman orthography used for the English alphabet, unlike the Central and Eastern Arctic where syllabics are used.

Inuktitut is the Inuit language and writing system. Inuinnaqtun and Inuvialuit are also languages and writing systems for Western Arctic and Kitikmeot Region; Qaniuyaapiat for syllabics and Qaliuyaapait for Roman Orthagraphy or Inuinnaqtun.

Inuktitut (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ (http://www.gov.nu.ca/Nunavut/English/font/ fonts required), literally "like the Inuit") is the name of the varieties of Inuit language spoken in Canada. It is spoken in all areas north of the tree-line, including parts of the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, to some extent in northeastern Manitoba as well as the territories of Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and traditionally on the Arctic Ocean coast of Yukon.
