Sámi language

The Sámi language is a group of indigenous Uralic languages spoken by the Sámi people who inhabit northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. It encompasses several distinct dialects, each with unique linguistic features, but they share common roots. Sámi languages are recognized as minority languages and are vital to Sámi cultural identity and heritage. They have their own alphabets and writing systems, and efforts are ongoing to preserve and revitalize their use amidst increasing external influences. Overall, Sámi languages are a crucial aspect of northern Europe's linguistic diversity and indigenous culture.
