These are the languages spoken in the Yukon:

* Cree
* Dogrib or Tlicho
* English
* French
* Gwich’in
* Inuktitut

* Inuinnaqtun

I know there are eight official ones.
That's a lot of languages! But the Yukon covers a lot of territory.

I live in the Yukon - in the Klondike, near Dawson City. It's a bit like parts of Alaska, but a LOT fewer people. The US has more military personnel in Alaska than there are people in Yukon. Most of the land is just wilderness. Whitehorse has 26,000 people, but, there are only about 9,000 in all the rest of the Yukon. It is possible to drive on the highway for 2 hours, and not see another soul - no cars, houses - nothing. There is no oil to speak of; perhaps off the North Shore, but, there is no active oil industry. There may be potential for Natural Gas near Eagle Plains, but, it isn't being developed yet. There is a lot of mining though - gold, silver, copper, rare earths, and others. Mining is a big industry here. Tourism is also a big industry, but, it's mostly Americans on cruises to Alaska, passing through. Canadians do come, but, not as often. However, many who come for a little holiday end up staying. At least half the people that I meet here came for a short holiday, and 30 years later, they are still here. Of course, there are many native people here as well. About 1/3 the people were I am are native. Some places (like Old Crow) are still majority native, and English is a second language.

Blue Julie is off. Cree is NOT spoken in the Yukon, neither is Slavey. Cree is spoken in the lower provinces of eastern Canada, Slavey and Dogrib are spoken in the Northwest Territories.
Here is the correct answer:
From north to south: Western Canadian Inuit, Kutchin, Han, Northern Tutchone, Upper Tanana, Southern Tutchone, Tagish, Kaska. All but the first are Athapaskan languages, the first is an Eskimo-Aleut language.
