    Im alaska native. Im Dena'ina which on this map was called tanaina. Tanaina is an old term that didnt really make it past the 20th century in alaska but for some reason the rest of the world uses it. But its dena'ina and the ' is a glotal stop in our language. Also its part of the na-dene language family too which is connected to the dene (Navajo) and to a small language in siberia called ket i think. Dene and dena'ina are so similar we can understand each other when speaking in our native language. Also aleut is said ally-oot. Love that alaska is getting some rep but just had to correct you a tiny bit.❤

      Been saying “Aleut” wrong the whole time and no one corrected me, but I doubt anyone here in GA would be able to, not even the military folks in Ft. Moore near where I’m from.

    I worked in St. Lawrence island! They spoke Siberian Yupik! I was learning Siberian Yupik! The Yupik languages are so fascinating but unfortunately dying.

    Greenland and Nunavut are totes jealous of Alaska's enormous population

    • @DiamondKingStudios
      @DiamondKingStudios 14 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Alaska’s that much larger than them largely due to the military; that’s the reason I was born there, anyway.
      And AK’s slightly less remote than them, either. The coastline is more accessible to major population centers than Nunavut’s is (only opens up to the Arctic Ocean which spends a lot of time frozen over), and probably more so than Greenland’s (not even on the continent, and all nearby landforms are other countries). Easier to conduct ferry service between the Pacific Northwest and the Alaska coast than New England or the Maritimes to Nuuk.
      Since the relative ease of trading/traveling between Alaska and the rest of the US is greater than Nunavut-Canada or Greenland-Denmark/US/Canada, Alaska has a higher non-indigenous population than either of the two (only one of the three where they aren’t an outright majority), leading to a much higher population overall.

    Oh look, my current hyperfixation. Mahsi' choo!
    I wouldn't describe Eskaleut (you need to include ALL of the non-Inuit languages in the name) or Na-Dene as "minor" language families. They are both the most commonly spoken language families in North America. They are also very widely distributed. Na-Dene stretches from the arctic to Mexico, while Eskaleut is found from eastern Russia all the way to Greenland.
    Pro tip for learning how to pronounce those names: PBS Kids doesn't just teach kids new stuff. Molly of Denali focuses extensively on Alaskan languages.

    is it actually "ael-oot" or is it "al-ee-oot"? i admit that i've always used the former for "Aleutian" as in the islands, but i've pretty much consistently used the latter for the people themselves courtesy of that film adaptation of _Island of the Blue Dolphins_ where they pronounced it that way
