This grammar provides a clear and comprehensive overview of contemporary West Greenlandic. It follows a systematic order of topics beginning with the alphabet and phonology, continuing with nominal and verbal morphology and syntax, and concluding with more advanced topics such as complex sentences and word formation. Grammatical points are illustrated with authentic examples reflecting current life in Greenland. Grammatical terminology is explained fully for the benefit of readers without a background in linguistics.

Features include:

  • Full grammatical breakdowns of all examples for ease of identifying individual components of complex words.
  • A detailed contents list and index for easy access to information.
  • An alphabetical list of the most commonly used West Greenlandic suffixes.
  • A glossary of grammatical abbreviations used in the volume.

The book is suitable for a wide range of users, including independent and classroom-based learners of West Greenlandic, as well as linguists and anyone with an interest in Greenland's official language.
