=== Language === There is no "majority [[First language|mother tongue]]" in Iqaluit, as 45.4 per cent reported their mother tongue as being English, and 45.4 per cent also reported their mother tongue as [[Inuktitut]]. English is spoken by 97.2 per cent of Iqaluit residents, however, whereas only 53.1 per cent can speak Inuktitut. French was the mother tongue of 4.8 per cent of the population, which is the same figure of the population who can speak the language. As of 2012, "Pirurvik, Iqaluit's Inuktitut language training centre, has a new goal: to train instructors from Nunavut communities to teach Inuktitut in different ways and in their own dialects when they return home."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Dawson |first=Samantha |title=A new way to nurture the Inuit language: train the instructors |work=NunatsiaqOnline |access-date=24 January 2013 |date=17 January 2013 |url=http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/stories/article/65674a_new_way_to_spread_the_inuit_language_train_the_instructors/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130208065849/http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/stories/article/65674a_new_way_to_spread_the_inuit_language_train_the_instructors |archive-date=8 February 2013}}</ref>
