List of Tamil words in Dogrib language
by
Dr. Variankaval Ramasamy Annadurai; MD; DPM;
The Tlicho language, also known as Tli?cho Yatiì or the Dogrib language, is a Northern Athabaskan language spoken by the Tli?cho (Dogrib people) First Nations of the Canadian Northwest Territories. According to Statistics Canada in 2011, there were 2,080 people who speak Tli?cho Yatiì. As of 2016, 1,735 people speak the language.
Tlicho Yatiì is spoken by the Tlicho, a Dene First Nations people that reside in the Northwest Territories of Canada. Tli?cho lands lie east of Mackenzie River (Deh Cho) between Great Slave Lake (Tideè) and Great Bear Lake (Sahtu) in the Northwest Territories. There are four primary communities that speak the language: Gamèti (formerly Rae Lakes), Behchoko` (formerly Rae-Edzo), Wekweètì (formerly Snare Lakes) and Whatì (formerly Lac La Martre). From a population number of about 800 during the mid-19th century to about 1,700 by the 1970s, the population has grown to about 2,080 as recorded by the 2011 Census. However, Tlicho Yatiì has seen a decrease in mother tongue speakers, hence placing it under the list of endangered languages.
The Tlicho region covers the northern shore of Great Slave Lake (Tideè), reaching up to Great Bear Lake (Sahtu). Behchoko`, is the largest community in Tlicho territory. According to the Endangered Languages Project, approximately 1,350 people speak the language while at home. Speakers are commonly fluent in English.
