  • 7. Silent speakers of Indigenous languages in Canada: A socio-demographic and geographic analysis
    Articles and reports: 41-20-00022026001
    Description: This report draws on data from the 2021 Census of Population, alongside previous census cycles to clarify the characteristics of the “silent speakers” of Indigenous languages in Canada.

Silent speakers thus represent a valuable reservoir of cultural and linguistic knowledge.
