The state of Indigenous languages in Canada

by u/throwbarrieaway

There are 243,155 people in Canada that were recorded as being able to speak an Indigenous language in the 2021 census. This is 0.67% of the total population of Canada. However, this is still 100k more than the population with an Indigenous first language. Centuries of oppression have resulted in the decline of Indigenous languages in Canada, and revival efforts exist today among generations that did not grow up speaking the language.

The top 9 Indigenous languages in Canada are:

Cree (an Algonquin language) with 87,875 speakers. Called a language, group of languages or a language continuum, most Cree speakers in Canada simply say they speak Cree.

Inuktitut (an Inuktut language) with 41,680 speakers. The main language of the Inuit in Canada, and the only language other than English or French spoken by a majority in a province or territory.

Ojibway (an Algonquin language) with 26,165 speakers. Similar to Cree, Ojibwe (or Ojibway in the census) has many dialects, though most identify with the language as a whole.

Oji-Cree (an Algonquin language) with 15,305 speakers. Also called Severn Ojibwe, this is an "Ojibway-Potawotami language" language/dialect kept separate from the rest in the census.

Dene (an Athabaskan language) with 11,555 speakers. Also called Denesuline or Chipewyan, spoken mostly in the northern half of Saskatchewan, it is arguably the top language there depending on how you measure Cree.

Innu (an Algonquin language) with 10,745 speakers. The main language of the Innu of Northeastern Quebec and Labrador.

Mi'kmaq (an Algonquin language) with 9,245 speakers. Mi'kmaq is an Eastern Algonquin language of the Maritime Provinces.

Blackfoot (an Algonquin language) with 6,685 speakers.

Atikamekw (an Algonquin language) with 6,815 speakers. In the Cree-Innu group, spoken mostly in the Saint-Maurice watershed north of Montreal.

Full stats can be explored in this table:

Note on "Insufficient Speakers". Stats Canada has an anonymity filter on all data that turns any response below 10 people to 0. So, in the top right map that means less than 10 speakers of an indigenous language. In the main map that means less than 10 speakers of an individual language family, and the unstriped Algonquin divisions have less than 10 speakers of one of the four individual subgroups.

Learning Activity 3.5, Task 1: Where do I live?

Introduction

Welcome to my first blog post, in which I explore the demographics of Scarborough, Ontario, where I live. I gathered information on the distribution of sex, age, and ethnicity in Scarborough through Learning Activity 3.1. Let's examine the information I gathered and how our community has changed over time.

Distribution of the Population

Scarborough, Ontario, has a lively and diversified population. The population's roughly distributed ethnic makeup reveals a vibrant multicultural environment where different ethnic groups live side by side in peace. The neighborhood also has a balanced mixture of sexes and ages, with a mix of young families, employed individuals, and retirees. ( https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/dp-pd/prof/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&SearchText=scarborough%20guildwood&GENDERlist=1&STATISTIClist=1&DGUIDlist=2013A000435095)

Analyzing the Data

Due to immigration and urban expansion, Scarborough has undergone major changes over time. The locality has seen an influx of immigrants from many cultural backgrounds, enhancing the diversity of the region. Scarborough has grown more accessible due to rising urbanization and better transportation, drawing a wide range of individuals looking for better prospects and a higher quality of life

Distinctive Obstacles

Scarborough, a diverse neighborhood, suffers particular difficulties brought on by its demographics. Different traditions and beliefs may give birth to cultural problems, necessitating polite communication and comprehension between locals. Large young populations in the area necessitate enough funding for educational and recreational amenities. The aging population needs sufficient assistance for healthcare and social services at the same time.

Community Reaction

Through a number of efforts, Scarborough has proactively tackled its own problems. Community gatherings and programs that integrate cultures foster intercultural harmony. The growth of the younger generation is supported through investments in education and youth programming. Senior social services and programs make sure the aging population gets the attention and care they require.

Conclusion

Due to immigration and urban expansion, the community of Scarborough, Ontario, has grown to be vibrant and diversified over time. The town has responded with proactive initiatives to accommodate and support its residents despite the particular problems presented by its demography. Scarborough continues to be a warm and thriving place to call home as we continue to embrace our unique heritage and develop a strong sense of community.

Genderlist:

[neopronouns]

is it ok if i ask you to tag your gender lists? im part of a mogai wiki project (because we need a mogai wiki that isnt made by a bigot) and gender lists are very helpful for finding genders we need to add, and having a tag for genderlists would be very helpful since instead of having to send each post i could just send the "tagged as:" link

sure! i’ll go back and tag the recent ones tonight, and i’ll try to tag some of the older ones when i have time to look for em

Hey, here are some ideas for a lacunox/lacunagender flag. Idk if people would like it more or less saturated to give the “nox” vibe. I think the grey one can be lacunagender and the purplish one be lacunox itself.

Lacunox: A gender that the holder knows exactly what their gender is, but they feel existing terms aren’t accurate in describing it for whatever reason, so they use a lot of terms, flip between them often, and/or stick to very broad terminology. A lacunox is questioning, but they’re questioning the language/terminology rather than their gender.

Lacunagender is a coinage of mine to refer to all similar genders to this, lacunox is under lacunagender and does not specify, but there are other lacunagenders that specify a feeling/alignment/gender that they experience to basically say “idk wtf to call myself but I know I’m xenine/masc/fem/etc.” or specify the overall type of terms the lacunagender person uses. I’m making terms and flags for these.

Lacunox was coined at @genderlist

pls forgive me if i mistakenly word something incorrectly/use the wrong term bc i’m still learning, but i’m questioning if i’m nb and i need some help.. i’ve never really felt like a girl, but i’m definitely not a boy either. i’m biologically female and i use she/her pronouns and don’t really want to change that and i also present myself somewhat femininely thru my style. is nb the correct term for me? or is there maybe another term that would fit me better?

Hi, there!

Since you’re new, I’d like to talk about terminology a little bit. This isn’t to scold you, just to share more perspective!

So “biologically female” can be useful for some people and if someone prefers to use that for themself, that should absolutely be respected. But it isn’t a term that should just be applied generally to everyone! I am nonbinary, therefore I am biologically nonbinary. There’s a lot of misguided effort in saying “biologically [gender]”, especially when it’s by cis folk and/or being applied as a blanket statement to all trans/nb people. Basically, unless someone is personally using it for themself, I consider it a sneaky way of misgendering trans people. It comes from the idea of the “sex =/=gender” split, which is supposed to help people new to the trans identity understand what trans means more easily.

Trans simply means ‘does not identify only and wholly as the gender they were assigned at birth’ (whereas cis means ‘identifying only and wholly as the gender they were assigned at birth’). Because the way we assign gender is... pretty simple and subjective. Doctors take a look at a baby’s outer reproductive genitalia, assign a gender based on that, and call it a day. Only it gets even more complicated when you include intersex people in the conversation. Intersex is a broad category we use for people with variations in their sexual anatomy that don’t match up with the binary anatomies of either external or internal genitalia and what typically goes along with each of those. These conditions can be anything from an extra chromosome to ambiguous physical genitalia to more. A lot of intersex conditions aren’t even visible at birth, so babies like this are marked as they appear to the doctor and may only find out at an older age that they are intersex if/when a health condition pops up. And intersex babies whose condition is visible? ...They are often mutilated: surgically made to appear as if they only have external or internal sexual genitalia. I think this is one of the clearest examples of just how subjective and simplistic the system that we use to assign people gender is, which is why “biologically [gender]” isn’t broadly useful.

Because a long time ago someone decided to take a rather simplistic view of gender and randomly assign people one of two genders based on random criteria, which happened to be visible genitalia. And we used this determination to separate people into two categories of social class and treat them differently because of this. When someone says “male” or “female” or “man” or “woman”, people have the same connotation regardless. So trying to separate sex from gender as two different concepts... well, it isn’t the greatest idea, as that means erasing a meaning/connotation people have for one of those terms and redefining it. It is much easier - and more accurate - to instead expand our understanding. As well, a method such as this, where you could understand that I have [x] set of genitalia and [x] set of chromosomes and am nonbinary regardless of all of that would result in much better healthcare because it would actually give doctors relevant information about my body and health, rather than relying on assumptions based on if I check an “M” or “F” box.

So if you find defining yourself as “biologically female” as useful, that’s fine and don’t let me stop you from defining your own experience! I know a few nonbinary people who find the “sex =/= gender” split useful for defining their experience and how they figured out they were nonbinary. But as a general rule, it’s just a description to not use in an umbrella way.

If you already knew that, sorry for being redundant! But since you said you were still learning, I thought it might be useful. ^^

So let’s move more onto your question. I’m just going to repeat it here, since it could have gotten a little lost after my explanation:

i’ve never really felt like a girl, but i’m definitely not a boy either. i’m biologically female and i use she/her pronouns and don’t really want to change that and i also present myself somewhat femininely thru my style. is nb the correct term for me? or is there maybe another term that would fit me better?             

So, as noted earlier, trans simply means ‘does not wholly or only identify as the gender you were assigned at birth’. More specifically for nonbinary, we can define this as: ‘not identifying wholly or only as the gender you were assigned at birth AND not identifying only or wholly as man or woman’. Note that this says nothing about your genitalia, pronouns, name, presentation, expression, or anything else superficial. Because all that stuff doesn’t have to define your gender! So you were assigned female at birth, dress femininely, use she/her pronouns, and don’t mind being read as a woman? You can totally still be nonbinary! There is no bar or test that you have to pass for your identity to be valid! All you have to do is identify as nonbinary!

As you have touched on in your ask, gender really comes down to how you feel. There’s two posts I want to suggest here where a couple other people go over what gender “is”. They’re good reads and when trying to figure out what the heck gender feels like, it’s always good to be able to get multiple perspectives to see if you can find one that’s helpful for you! They are “What is Gender? What Does it Feel Like?” by askanonbinary and “Gender is Art” by wedontcareaboutyourbinary. I’m not great at explaining open and subjective concepts like this, but for me, gender is an innate feeling of who you are. It’s a connection you make, either (or multiply) with a label(s), others, and/or yourself. It is something internal that can have external influences and expressions.

So when you say “i’ve never really felt like a girl, but i’m definitely not a boy either.” - this sounds like your gender!!! And, as we saw defined above, you don’t feel wholly and only like a girl or a boy, so it sounds like you do fall under the label of nonbinary!

That being said, I want to touch on “is nb the correct term for me?” and the answer is... that’s totally up to you! I really like how I saw nbandproud put it: “Gender is Not A Diagnosis”. There is no formula for determining your identity (although I know many of us would find it easier if there were!). You can’t just check off a list of feelings, expression, etc., and get a simple output that defines who you are. We describe our gender with a label, and labels are, first and foremost, for ourself. They are to help us describe how we feel and communicate this to others. And there is absolutely an important part of this that has to do with human emotion and connection. Two people could potentially have the same exact gender feels, yet could decide to use two separate labels for how they feel because that’s the term they connected with and decided to use. And neither of them would be wrong for doing so! That would be like me calling someone beautiful and another person arguing with me that the someone is actually gorgeous. We are using two words with similar meaning but used the word we felt at the time. Neither of us are wrong that ‘someone’ is beautiful or gorgeous. We simply used different words for it.

So only you can decide if nonbinary is the correct term for you. Often, the best way to decide this is to use the label for yourself for a while! How long that while is can be up to you. It’s fine if a while is months or years long!!! It took me a matter of several years to fall in love with the term nonbinary - and even longer to fall harder in love with genderqueer.  I simply wasn’t sure and struggled with accepting myself for that time, but in the end, those are the labels I’ve landed on (at least for now - it can always change in the future). Using the term doesn’t mean you have to come out, either. You can just use it privately. Think of yourself in regards to being nonbinary. Draw nonbinary people. Write nonbinary characters. See if the label fits you or if there’s always a disconnect with it. Experiment and decide if nonbinary is the correct term for you!

As perhaps implied above with my own identity, nonbinary doesn’t have to be the only correct term for you if that’s how you feel. You can use as many or as few labels as you want. You can use nonbinary as a specific and/or general term. You can use as specific or as general a term as you want - you can use a general term and an ultra specific one. It’s your identity: whatever you feel fits is the correct term for you!

I can suggest some more terms if you’re interested in hearing more, but there are a whoooooole lot of identities that could generally be described as “neither girl nor boy”. One of the more well-known terms I can throw based on this out would be agender: lack of a gender. If you are interested, I would suggest just flipping through some glossaries. Here are a few of my suggestions:

http://genderfluidsupport.tumblr.com/genderhttp://gender.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Gender_Identitieshttps://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Main_Page

Then, of course, there’s whole lexicon blogs meant to help spread and share and celebrate terms that people are coming up with everyday. Blogs like @genderlist, @beyond-mogai-pride-flags, and @imoga-pride.

I will warn you that these blogs can be overwhelming, especially if you’re desperate for that One Perfect Term(TM). They’re a lot to go through because there’s a lot of different ways people can feel and feel about their gender! If you find them overwhelming, take a break! You don’t have to have that One Perfect Term(TM). I don’t! And I am finally comfortable in the fact that I simply don’t understand my gender enough nor am I able to so specifically pin it down that it can be described with a term and simple definition. So if you get overwhelmed, take a break, give yourself some self-care, and go back to reading later. Questioning can takes years, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Now... have a kitten for getting through all that text! And feel free to ask as many questions as you need!

New Term!

Dolchechaufgender!

It means a gender that feels like candlelight, soft, and warm. Sometimes “flickering”. Can also be used as Dolchechaufgirl, Dolchechaufboy, etc.

The name was inspired by the Italian word for soft, and the French word for warm!

[oneirial]

Oneirial

Dreamlike, or dream associated gender. Can be unbound, full of mystery and possibly, perhaps secrets and spirituality, or incomprehensible but meaningful, hazy but understood, or deep and infinite and mythical. Sometimes haunting and unsettling like a nightmare, sometimes pleasent and whimsical like daydream.

The circles are the hours of sleep and time between dusk and dawn

The different colors represent different dreamy experiences and feelings such as daydreaming, dreams of passion, nightmares, navy being night. Plus dreams are always associated visually with being in clouds or bubbles

They go in a diagonal like the path of the moon and sun in the sky, from light warm color of sunset to light warm color of sunrise

oneirial (Oh-NEH-ree-ahl, Ohn-ee-ree-AHL) adj and noun, like male/female

oneiale (Ohn-NEE-elle) noun, like man/woman

onerocity (Ohn-neh-roh-si-ty) noun, the quality of being oneirial; onerialness.

so i was thinking the other day about the demishiftfluid flag - this is a big part of my identity, and something about the flag has always felt off to me. the colored stripes look kinda cramped in the flag itself ig, and that kinda bugs me? so here’s a few proposed alternatives!! the first two follow the seven-stripe pattern of other demigender flags, but personally i’m a fan of the third. lmk what y’all think!!

If I identify masculine and I am afab and I feel strongly connected to music and darkness what gender I am I am I male or something else. And what pronouns should I use

What pronouns make you comfortable when talking about you? You don't have to use pronouns if you don't want.

And this blog isn't for gender identities, I recommend @genderlist in this case, but since you questioned, some identity labels you could look up: cadensgender, musigender, nyctogender, darkgender, mingender and masculigender. Gender masculinity isn't essentially being male, some m-gender folks don't identify as man.
