Canadian Language Museum: Indigenous language maps, apps and websites

The Canadian Language Museum was established in 2011 to promote an appreciation of all of the languages used in Canada and of their role in the development of this nation. Language is central to the cultural identity of every Canadian and has been integral in shaping Canada's development. Few countries can match Canada's rich and varied language heritage, which includes the official languages of French and English and their regional dialects, Indigenous languages from coast to coast and the many languages brought to this country by more recent immigrants.
