- hk__2 2y agoIsn’t it largely a myth? I’ve heard this story for Inuit people but if you dig a bit you realize they just have a couple words for it.
- karaterobot 2y agoEnglish itself has dozens of words for snow, so I wouldn't be surprised if Inuit languages did too. In fact I'd be shocked if they didn't have complex ways of describing something so important.
