Eskimo: Greenland...
"The language of the Eskimos of Greenland, the most easterly of
the Eskimos, can be divided into three main dialect groups:
Eastern, Northeastern, and Western.   All are easily mutually
intelligible and not greatly divergent from other Eskimo tongues."

"Norwegian Lutheran my. Hans Poulsen Egede is
remembered as the "Apostle to Greenland."   He went to
Greenland in 1721.   He turned the language of the Inuit people
into a written language.

With his son Paul, he translated the Bible into Inukitut.   In 1933
Moravian mies. revised this translation.   The work was
heavily influenced by Luther's German translation."
