Abstract: Sámi languages are defined as a branch of the Uralic language family, and are traditionally spoken in an area stretching from central Norway and Sweden, through northern Norway, Sweden and Finland, to the Kola Peninsula in Russia. Today there are altogether 9 Sámi languages which are more or less mutually unintelligible, especially those that are geographically distant. The traditional boundaries between Sámi languages do not follow the national boundaries. The number of language users varies from one language to another. The largest language is Northern Sámi (est. 20.000–40.000 users). All Sámi languages are minority languages in the respective countries.
