OTTAWA — About one-fifth of Canadians who count an aboriginal language as
their mother tongue live in Quebec, according to 2011 census data.

The province counted more than 44,000 people with an aboriginal language as
their first language in 2011, a 22-per-cent increase over 2001 data. Since
that year, Quebec overtook Manitoba as the province with the highest number
of First Nations people who claim an aboriginal language as their mother
tongue.

Manitoba and Saskatchewan trail Quebec closely, with 37,770 and 34,055
mother-tongue aboriginal speakers respectively.
