Public Comment
The figures given for number of native speakers and ethnic population are for all Inupiaq.

Inupiaq is the collective term for the dialects of Western Eskimo (q.v.) spoken in Alaska and
immediately adjacent parts of Northern Canada. There are two major dialect groups, Seward
Peninsula Inupiaq (Qawiaraq) and North Alaskan Inupiaq. There are about 13,500 Inupiat (the plural form, referring to the people collectively) in Alaska, of whom about 3,000, mostly over age 40, speak the language.
