The French do not pluralize names. For instance, in English we would say "The Baldwins live in France." But in French it would be "Les Baldwin habitent en France."

In French, the word "Inuit" remains singular because it is considered a collective noun that encompasses the entire Inuit people. It is similar to the words "sheep" or "deer" in English, which are the same in both singular and plural form.
