Eskimo-Aleut languages spoken in United States, Canada and Greenland
This article is about Eskimo-Aleut language family. For discussion of the term Eskimo, see Eskimo#Nomenclature.

Eskimo-Aleut is a language family native to Greenland, the Canadian Arctic, Alaska, and parts of Siberia. Also called Eskaleut (Eskaleutian, Eskaleutic), Eskimoan or Macro-Eskimo,[1] it consists of the Eskimo languages (including the Inuit languages in the north of Alaska, Canada and Greenland, and the Yupik/Yup'ik languages in western and southwestern Alaska and in Siberia), and the single Aleut language of the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands.

The Eskimo-Aleut languages are polysynthetic, and together represent one of the language families of North America. It is believed they broke up into Eskimo and Aleut families about 2000 BCE.

The Eskimo language family in turn divided into the Inuit and various Yupik languages around 1000 CE. The proper place of Sirenik within the Eskimo-Aleut language family is debated. Some linguists list it as a branch of Yupik[2], while others list it as a distinct branch of the language family[3].

The following is a brief comparison of cognates among the basic vocabulary across the Eskimo-Aleut language family (about 60 words). Note that empty cells do not imply that a particular language is lacking a word to describe the concept, but rather that the word for the concept in that language is formed from another stem and is not a cognate with the other words in the row. Also, there may be shifts in the meaning from one language to another, and so the "common meaning" given is only approximate. In some cases the form given is found only in some dialects of the language. Forms are given in native Latin orthographies unless otherwise noted.
