The Inuit territory of Nunavut has three ''official(office)'' languages: English, French and Inuktitut.

The Inuit have always told ''stories (story)'' in their native Inuktitut, but the language was not ''written(???)''
down until an alphabet was invented ''by(???)'' missionaries in the 19th century.

Inuktitut is not a simple language, ''even if|even though()'' it has a rather small number of words. A word can have several different ''endings (end)''. Words can be ''extremely (extreme)'' long and complex and can express
meanings that in other languages would require a whole sentence. Inuktitut is said to be one ''of(???)'' the most complex
and difficult languages in the world. There are only a ''few(???)'' words in Inuktitut ''which(???)'' are widely known, and one of these is 'parka', a ''kind|sort(???)'' of warm jacket.
