@@sikkerninnguaq6256 Eskaleut and for that matter Ainu are often considered Paleosiberian. The Bering Strait is in may ways a superficial barrier. If you really want to insist on pedantic definitions, Eskaleut does maintain a toehold on the Asian landmass.
@@TheBrofessori don’t think i know that much about it but all i know is that Inuttut is a Init language derived from eskimo-aleut which is what i think you mean by eskaleut
@@sikkerninnguaq6256 yeah! Eskaleut is a shorthand term used by linguists. Inuttut or Innuttitut is an Inuktitut and therefore Inuit variety, which forms one branch of Eskimoan. I know “Eskimo” is considered offensive in Canada and Greenland, but it’s a useful term in Alaska, since Yup’ik is Eskimo, but separate from Inuit, called Iñupiaq in Alaska. Since Eskaleut is a relatively new arrival in the Western hemisphere, probably about 4000 years ago, and furthermore it never completely ceased to be spoken in Asia, lots of linguists will list Eskaleut as one of several Paleosiberian families! I’m not an Eskimologist myself, and I know very little about Inuit language or culture. You could probably teach me a lot. I’d love to visit Greenland someday!
In summer '97 I visited Greenland. In the airport shop I saw their Cd. Too bad I ran out of money, so I could not buy it. Life in Greenland is very expensive, especially for a Dutch tourist...
I suppose you mean it's not very original. Well, there is one original thing about it: they rap in Greenlandic. Recasting a genre of music which is so inextricably associated with American English for another language is always a hell of a job, especially when the language is so radically different. They managed to make credible, if mainstream, hip hop in an otherworldly tongue with extremely long words.
I am an Americano who despises "Rap" almost as much as I despise the disease that is "Country Music". But this number is actually groovy. Thus, I've decided to pack up and wind sail my snobby self on over to Greenland twenty to thirty some years after the fact.
@oliverslilla Yeah, do you really think groups you listen are quite better? probably you listen rap/hip hop bands much worse and repetititve. I don´t really listen rap and hip hop but I think this song is cool
really? OMG! totally cool and quite mechanic. Not! xD They got the pulse within the genre, no doubt:) listen to this and after that, listen to G-dragon - Crayon:) it's true that you can travel through time, well musically at least
I'm staying at an airbnb in Nuuk, and the owner has these stickers all over, and cassette tape. I had to see what it was about. Well done.
Hip hops everywhere. Greenland!? Thats crazy
My teacher showed this in my lecture of Paleo-siberian languages. So Nuuk Posse is even known in Hungary.
hunspike this is not a paleo-siberian language
Hunspike
In what curriculum do you study paleo-siberian languages ? And where ?

So dope
So what is the song about? What does Qitik mean? Love the flow and the sound, even though I can’t understand it.
qitik basically just means dance, the lyrics are about having fun in the city and dancing and stuff :)
This is so fire
Does anyone translate these lyrics into English? I can't find a translation anywhere.
does anyone have lyrics? cheers from Brazil :D
@Marina Anthonsen actually doing gods work

Andrew Ibsen 90's
@Astridag Mediocrity shouldn't be excused because of our delay to modernism. I think that was his point in sarcasm.

@Wackize WTF, they're inuit.
I'll bet even Greenland has been autotuned to death after this really nifty bit of the rap hop ca. 1992.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
