It has been published since February 21, The lack of pollution, long nights, and minimal man-made lighting allows for a great view. In many ways, Greenland has a lot in common with other parts of Scandinavia. Though the country is sparsely populated, the population of Greenland has a strong appreciation for nature.
Like many other Scandi countries, life in Greenland involves a deep respect for nature. In return for minimal pollution and cleaner air, Greenlandic people are rewarded with incredible scenery.
There are miles of icy fjords to see, and unique rainbow-colored ice fields. Many of the icebergs that drift ashore around the region have been building for hundreds of thousands of years. However, according to historians, the first humans arrived in the region around BC.
The original locals were gradually succeeded by various other groups migrating from North America. See also Articles Nordic languages: How similar are the Scandinavian languages?
Many Intuit Greenlanders can trace their lineage back thousands of years. The locals of Greenland also continue to practice many Intuit tradition. The more advanced answer is yes — a lot of different kinds of people.
The population of Greenland is more varied than many people realise. Greenlandic Inuit also feel a strong connection to Inuits in other parts of the world, making the community even larger.
Local Greenlandic people share similarities with Inuit from Alaska and Canada. Even some parts of the languages are the same. The locals are also equipped to speak a range of languages, including English, Danish, and Greenlandic. The heavy use of Danish comes from the establishment of home rule that began in This vibrant and rich environment is the largest cosmopolitan town on the island.
You can find a wide variety of museums, fashion boutiques and art galleries here. There are about 48, inhabitants in the 16 towns and the other 8, people live in the countrys 60 settlements. Greenlands capital, Nuuk, is located in West Greenland and is by far the largest town with its 16, residents. The other major towns are Sisimiut, Ilulissat and Qaqortoq.
The second largest town is Sisimiut with about 5, inhabitants. The rest of the towns have between 1, to 4, inhabitants. The mother tongue and official language in Greenland is Greenlandic with Danish functioning as a second language. Danish is a relatively new language in a Greenlandic context.
It came to Greenland when it Christianized in the early 18th century. The Danish language has become widely used, especially in an administrative context and in some of the larger cities.
Many Greenlanders speak Danish and English, particularly in the tourism industry. You cannot assume that everyone does, but then you can get far with gestures and smiles and maybe get some help from people around you. Greenlandic, Kalaallisut, is closely related to the language spoken by Inuit in Canada and in Alaska. In Greenland, there are three main dialects — one in the north, one in the east and finally the West dialect which forms the basis for the Greenlandic orthography.
Greenlandic is a language often based on idioms and it is also a difficult language. Greenlanders like it if you try to speak their language and if they laugh at you then it is only meant affectionately.
Greenlanders like to have fun. When this happens, take a deep breath and accept the fact that you cannot take control of everything about the tour. Immigration has occurred in waves. Overall, we speak of four waves, namely three waves of Inuit descent from the west and then the European immigration from the east.
Approximately 4, years ago, the first Inuit came to the country, the so-called Saqqaq Culture. The Dorset Culture also came from the west approximately 2, years later. Large parts of the current Greenlandic population are descendants of the Thule Culture, who came to the country about 1, years ago.
The first two immigrations of Inuit were paleo-Eskimos who had their primary life on the tundra, hunting for caribou, musk oxen, etc. The people of the Thule Culture were neo-Eskimos who based their lives on catching marine animals. Almost simultaneously with the arrival of the Thule people, the Norse came to Greenland from Iceland and settled in the fertile Southern parts of the country. Through their years in Greenland, the Norse were making farms all the way from the South and up to the Nuuk Fjord.
The Norse were the first non-Inuit who came are settled down here. It was also the Norse people, spearheaded by Norwegian Viking Erik the Red, who gave Greenland its name, because they wanted other Norse people to settle here. Sermermiut in the Disco Bay on the shore of Ilulissat Icefjord is one of the most visited places in Greenland. The view of Ilulissat Icefjord and the proximity to the town makes it a popular destination.
Sermermiut has been a settlement for many Inuit cultures through more than 4, years. With an expert at your side, you can still see the remains of some of the settlements. He christened the Greenlandic population and today the country is a Lutheran-based society. Greenland is no longer a Danish colony, but ties with Denmark remains tight, both formal and informal.
Throughout the past years, Greenland has gone through big changes in relation to governance, but luckily all the changes have happened peacefully. Governance in Greenland today Greenland is now a parliamentary democracy within the Kingdom of Denmark along with the Faroe Islands.
