Language policy in Nunavut is defined by two principal Acts of the Legislative Assembly: the Official Languages Act (French: Loi sur les langues officielles) and the Inuit Language Protection Act (French: Loi sur la protection de la langue inuit), two laws enacted in 2008 which mean that Nunavut has three official languages. The Acts establish that the official languages of Nunavut are: Inuit Language (Inuinnaqtun, Inuktitut), English and French. Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun are frequently grouped together as "Inuit Language" or "Inuktut".
