As to the Central Regions certainly lists of words are given 

 referring to different tribes , but too incomplete to represent 

 different dialects, for which reason the words have been compiled 

 as belonging to one tongue. Finally the Greenland language 

 always has been treated as one dialect, with remarks now and 

 then on provincialisms. Only recently the Danish expedition 

 to East Greenland brought home excellent notes on the words 

 used here different from West Greenland.
