Today, the Centre for Indigenous Statistics and Partnerships at Statistics Canada, in collaboration with the Office of the Commissioner of Indigenous Languages, is releasing two articles on Indigenous language use in Canada. The first, entitled Silent speakers of Indigenous languages in Canada: A socio-demographic and geographic analysis, considers the characteristics of people who learned an Indigenous language as their mother tongue but could no longer speak the language. The second article, The use of Indigenous languages in urban areas in Canada, reports on the linguistic profile and trends of Indigenous language speakers living in census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs).
