The exact number of Indigenous languages spoken in Canada is unclear but, in 2016, Statistics Canada had reported that more than 70 Indigenous languages were spoken at home. The Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) reported over 90 Indigenous languages for Canada. According to UNESCO, however, three quarters of these languages are considered endangered, and none can be considered safe; domestic research and reports written over the past 20 years support UNESCO’s findings.
