The primary reason that Eskimo is considered derogatory is the arguable but widespread perception that in Algonkian languages it means " eaters of raw meat.

The term " Eskimo " is also used worldwide in linguistic or ethnographic works to denote the larger branch of Eskimo – Aleut languages, the smaller branch being Aleut.

The Eskimo – Aleut family of languages includes two cognate branches: the Aleut ( Unangan ) branch and the Eskimo branch.

An overview of the Eskimo – Aleut languages family is given below:

Some speakers of Siberian Yupik languages used to speak an Eskimo variant in the past, before they underwent a language shift.

Many words are formed from entirely different roots than in Siberian Yupik, but even the grammar has several peculiarities not only among Eskimo languages, but even compared to Aleut.

For example, dual number is not known in Sirenik Eskimo, while most Eskimo – Aleut languages have dual, including its neighboring Siberian Yupikax relatives.

According to a supposition, the peculiarities of this language may be the result of a supposed long isolation from other Eskimo groups, being in contact only with speakers of unrelated languages for many centuries.

The Eskimo languages have a few hundred speakers in Russia.

The Eskimo languages of Alaska are called Inupiatun, but the variants of the Seward Peninsula are distinguished from the other Alaskan variants by calling them Qawiaraq, or for some dialects, Bering Straits Inupiatun.

In his 1987 book Language in the Americas, while supporting the Eskimo – Aleut and Na-Dené groupings as distinct, he proposed that all the other Native American languages belong to a single language macro-family, which he termed Amerind.

A central publication on this topic is the recent volume edited by Dixon and Aikhenvald ( 2007 ), examining the mismatch between prosodic-phonological and grammatical definitions of " word " in various Amazonian, Australian Aboriginal, Caucasian, Eskimo, Indo-European, Native North American, West African, and sign languages.

These proposals were taken much farther in 1903 when Holger Pedersen proposed " Nostratic ", a common ancestor for the Indo-European, Finno-Ugric, Samoyed, Turkish, Mongolian, Manchu, Yukaghir, Eskimo, Semitic, and Hamitic languages, with the door left open to the eventual inclusion of others.

Rask described what he vaguely called " Scythian " languages in 1834, which included Finno-Ugric, Turkic, Samoyedic, Eskimo, Caucasian, Basque and others.

The vialis case in Eskimo – Aleut languages has a similar interpretation, used to express movement using a surface or way.

The Central Alaskan Yupik are by far the most numerous of the various Alaska Native groups and speak the Central Alaskan Yup ' ik language, a member of the Eskimo – Aleut family of languages.

The " person / people " ( human being ) in the Eskimo ( Yupik and Inuit ) languages:

These include the Uralic languages of western Siberia ( better known for Hungarian and Finnish in Europe ), the Yeniseian languages ( linked to the Athabaskan languages of North America ), Yukaghir, Nivkh of Sakhalin, Ainu of northern Japan, Chukotko-Kamchatkan in easternmost Siberia, and — just barely — Eskimo – Aleut.

Many languages throughout North America are polysynthetic ( Eskimo – Aleut languages are extreme examples ), although this is not characteristic of all North American languages ( contrary to what was believed by 19th-century linguists ).

There are two main groups that are referred to as Eskimo: Yupik and Inuit.

" One Cree speaker suggested the original word that became corrupted to Eskimo might indeed have been askamiciw ( which means " he eats it raw "), and the Inuit are referred to in some Cree texts as askipiw ( which means " eats something raw ").

In Alaska the term Eskimo is commonly used, because it includes both Yupik and Inupiat, while Inuit is not accepted as a collective term or even specifically used for Inupiat ( who technically are Inuit ).

Other commercial names from around the world are Algofrene, Arcton, Asahiflon, Daiflon, Eskimo, FCC, Flon, Flugene, Forane, Fridohna, Frigen, Frigedohn, Genetron, Isceon, Isotron, Kaiser, Kaltron, Khladon, Ledon, Racon, and Ucon.

There are two main volcanic sequences on the Belcher Islands called the Eskimo and overlying Flaherty volcanics.

They are Eskimo and are related to the Inuit and Iñupiat peoples.

The original video shows the band members kidnapping people at night and in the end, the kidnapped people are Eskimo Joe themselves.

This is a recreation of the craniometry | craniometric dendogram entitled " Cranial Cluster 28 Groups " in a book by anthropologist William White Howells, professor of anthropology at Harvard University who said " Indigenous peoples of the Americas | Indians " or " Indigenous peoples of the Americas | American populations " are closest in " studies of cranial distance " to " Europeans " as seen above and that among " Indians " or " American populations ", only " Eskimo s " are " strongly Mongoloid race | Mongoloid in form ".

The native persons of the village are Inupiat Eskimo.

The inhabitants are primarily Iñupiat Eskimo.

Other parts of the world also have a tradition of ventriloquism for ritual or religious purposes ; the Zulus, Eskimo, and Māori are all adept at this practice.

These definitions explicitly include the arts in the field of natural history, and are aligned with the broad definition outlined by B. Lopez, who defines the field as the " Patient interrogation of a landscape " while referring to the natural history knowledge of the Eskimo.

There are four ' abortive civilizations ' ( Abortive Far Western Christian, Abortive Far Eastern Christian, Abortive Scandinavian, Abortive Syriac ) and five ' arrested civilizations ' ( Polynesian, Eskimo, Nomadic, Ottoman, Spartan ).

Examples of bawdy folk songs are: " Seventeen Come Sunday " and " The Ballad of Eskimo Nell ".

The Chugach people are an Alutiiq ( Pacific Eskimo ) people who speak the Chugach dialect of the Alutiiq language.

In Alaska, the berries are mixed with seal oil, reindeer or caribou fat ( which is diced up and made fluffy with the seal oil ), and sugar to make " Eskimo Ice Cream " or Akutaq.

The Eskimo – Aleut language family is divided into two branches, the Eskimo languages and the Aleut language.

It is thought that the common ancestral language of the Eskimo languages and of Aleut divided into the Eskimo and Aleut branches around 2000 BCE.

The Eskimo language family divided into the Yupik and Inuit branches around 1000 CE.

Some have thought two language families, Eskimo – Aleut and Na-Dené, were distinct, perhaps the results of later migrations into the New World.

Many proposals to group these into higher-level families have been made, such as in three macrofamilies of Eskimo – Aleut, Na-Dene, and Amerind, though this scheme is rejected by nearly all specialists.

The company also entered into the field of larger show and presentation pieces celebrating various scenes ( such as its cut-away design featuring an Eskimo ice fisherman above the ice, and the fish below, or the Cathedral Window design ) and elements that incorporated etchings.

Although morphology will be treated grouped into a nominal and a verbal part, many Eskimo languages show features which “ crosscut ” any such groupings in several aspects:

Calvillo then illegally threw the ball again into the endzone to wide receiver Kerry Watkins who, without an Eskimo within five yards, dropped the game winning ( albeit illegal ) pass.

Canadian Eskimo players divide into two groups.
