What languages are spoken in East Greenland?

East Greenland is a multi-lingual community. The official language is East Greenlandic, Tunumiisut, which is primarily spoken in the region. It’s important to note that the dialect in Ittoqqortoormiit differs from the one spoken in the Ammassalik area. As East Greenlandic is a spoken language only, the official national Greenlandic language, Kalaallisut, is widely understood by the population. All official documents, TV broadcasts, and news are in Kalaallisut. In addition, many people in East Greenland also speak Danish, as it is the second official language of the country. English is commonly understood, particularly in the tourism industry.
