Map of Greenland

Greenland

Danish and Greenlandic Inuit are the official languages of the 57,000 population of Greenland. The island came under the rule of Denmark in the late 14th century, and became an integral part of the Danish realm in 1953. As a result, all children are educated bilingually.
