-==== Language standardization ====
-There are different orthographies for Tunimiisut, and none is set as the standard as Kalaalisut is used for official settings and documents. Though some books exists and offer several orthographies to be used, when Tunimiisut is written in informal settings (social media, text messages, etc), the language is written accroding to personal preferences ((Elixhauser, S. (2018). East Greenlandic Language. In //Negotiating Personal Autonomy: Communication and Personhood in East Greenland.// Routledge. Retrieved from [[https://books.google.nl/books?id=snhQDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false]].)).

-Tunumiisut is spoken on the east coast of Greenland, in the regions of Ammassalik and Ittoqqortoormiit (in Tunumiisut) or Illoqqortoormiut  (in Kalaallisut) (formerly: Scoresbysund). \\ Tunumiisut is indicated as the grey area (Tunumiit Oraasiat) to the East of Greenland on the map below ((Asybaris01.

-===== Legislation of language education =====
-==== International legislation =====
-Denmark has not recognized Greenlandic and its language varieties under the [[general_information:glossary_of_terms|European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages]], because the Greenland Home Rule Act gives a high degree of protection already ((Denmark. (2003). //European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages: Initial Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter.// Retrieved from [[https://rm.coe.int/CoERMPublicCommonSearchServices/DisplayDCTMContent?documentId=09000016806c8312]].)) \\ The same goes for the [[general_information:glossary_of_terms|Framework Convention of the Protection of National Minorities]] ((Denmark. (1999). //Report Submitted by Denmark Pursuant to Article 25, Paragraph 10F of the Framework Convention of the Protection of National Minorities.// Retrieved from [[https://rm.coe.int/CoERMPublicCommonSearchServices/DisplayDCTMContent?documentId=090000168008aeed]].)).
-==== National legislation ====
-The [[http://www.stm.dk/_p_12712.html|Greenland Home Rule Act]] (1978) rules in Chapter 2, Section 9 that:
-  - Greenlandic shall be the principal language. Danish must be thoroughly taught.
-  - Either language may be used for official purposes.
-However, Kalaallisut is the official Greenlandic variety and therefore, the Home Rule Act does not state any legislation for Tunimiisut((Elixhauser, S. (2018). East Greenlandic Language. In //Negotiating Personal Autonomy: Communication and Personhood in East Greenland.// Routledge. Retrieved from [[https://books.google.nl/books?id=snhQDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false]].)).
-==== Local legislation ====
-Within the area, there are no special regulations for Tunumiisut to be taught at schools besides Greenlandic Kalaallisut((Elixhauser, S. (2018). East Greenlandic Language. In //Negotiating Personal Autonomy: Communication and Personhood in East Greenland.// Routledge. Retrieved from [[https://books.google.nl/books?id=snhQDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false]].)).
