Sámi
Sámi is spoken by the residents of
Lappland. There are approximately 20,000 speakers in Finland, Norway and
Sweden. Although there are several similar dialects, all are seriously
endangered languages used only by the older population. The language is
also referred to as Saami or Lappic, although the latter is considered offensive
by some.
