Nice video! I make videos explaining names (hence the channel name) and this was a topic on my list. Think you've done a much better job than I could of!
+Well... Actually Thanks, your style is good too! Hmm I may still do it, the idea for my video was more expanded than yours so it might still be relevant.
In fairness to Eric the Red, Greenland was very probably much greener 1000 years ago. It endured over exploitation by livestock and then an ice age which killed or drove out the inhabitants. This is the maximum fairness one may allow Eric who was otherwise a rather unpleasant individual. His son Leif on the other hand was decent enough an qualifies as having discovered America or Vinland as it was called back then.
Kalaallit Is pronounced the way it looks... EXCEPT: The double "a" makes a longer a sound (just hold the "a" a little longer), and the "ll" in Greenlandic makes the same sound as the Hebrew letter "khaf".
+Mr Minstrel They where the first people to inhabit the southern half of Greenland, the Dorset people were the first in northern Greenland. The Inuits came 300 years after the Norse, and only arrived in southern Greenland after the Norse had disappeared around 1450.
You chose really interesting topics......but your videos are too brief. I know that it takes alot of time to make each second of each video, but talking about these topics in depth would be appreciated. Thank you for considering my opinion.
+Joujou Thanks for the feedback. The short videos tend to be little segments i use as breaks from making longer stuff (my video for fri-sat is around 5-6mins), but i know where you are coming from. I intended this one to be about 3 mins but it seems i speak faster than i should for my word count (still need to work out how many words per min). Videos do take quite a while to make, the really hard part tend to be getting images as i use wiki as the pics are public domain. I do try to have one longer video each week, and I am planning to increase the fact videos lengths and make these little segments around 3 mins if possible. If only i could clone myself! :P

Is the music thatched villagers by Kevin Macleod?
Nuuk is one of the places I always wanted to see
Iceland isnt full on ice everywhere. Only in some places
The Inuit inhabits the east coast as well.
The pronunciation of Kalallit is roughlt ka-la-hleet.
Not a bad video!
Which one is more accurate.
kah-LAAAH-lit
or
kah-lah-LIIIT
+Author Cat Studios / toogletoggleOfTheCats How hard is it to learn IPA?
You pronounce double L's like in Kalaallit or Illu (Ilgoo) like a CH-L kind of.
Does this mean that the Norse were some of the original settlers on the islands (if they were second by the looks of it)?

In spanish it's called "Groenlandia". This name has nothing to do with the land being green.
In romania is called Groelanda
Pretty similar :D
in Portuguese is called "Groenlândia".
(i'm Inuit)
In Spanish its called "Groenlandia"
01:30 In german it is called Grönland
In Spanish it's Groenlandia
+Lucas Soria Castro In English its called Greenland :P (could not help myself)
TheAirborneRogue Thanks for the information , for a second I thought that the title was a bad joke about colours
Lucas Soria Castro
Happens to me all the time!
+Sir Klug von Scheiß in danish its called grønland or without advanced letters groenland, yea so much for that conspiracy.
No Iceland has almost no ice
Iceland has barely any ice.
Gruntland?? I dont think so
Maybe the founder of the land, the name is Green so the land called "Greenland" Isn't?
wer teh hecc did grainlend giet hies noime froem

You pronounced Kalaallit nunaat very wrong 😂😂😂😂😂
I think I pronounced everything very wrong!! :P
Well... Actually Not everything😳
Lol Thanks :D
wait... so the native greenlanders are asians?
+Asaf Katz I think they may have come across from Asia on ice sheets. But they would not be considered "Asian" but they are closely related.
TheAirborneRogue They have the eyes of an Asian.
+Asaf Katz What
Dan Hansen Their eyes
