TV newscast delivered in Eskimo–Aleut language

Greenlandic culture is fascinating, and the language is just one part of it. I wrote about it a while back; among the most interesting parts:

  1. Due to limited internet connectivity, Greenland doesn’t rely on net neutrality, allowing uses like education and telemedicine to take precedent on the country’s shaky DSL connections.
  2. The first movie filmed exclusively in Greenland only came out in 1998.
  3. A hit album in Greenland generally sells about 5,000 copies—which is roughly one copy for every 12 people. Only one album in the U.S., Thriller, has sold a proportional amount.
  4. A rock band played a big role in Greenland’s eventual autonomy from Denmark.
