There are numerous other languages spoken in homes, most particularly among immigrants and second generation immigrants. Many American Indians also speak native languages, with Inuit being the language of the many First Nations people in Nunavut. For these First Nations peoples as well as immigrants, most will learn French, English, or both. Quebec and parts of other eastern provinces are primarily French-speaking, while Ontario and everything west, as well as much of the Maritimes provinces are generally English-speaking.
