SAMI LANGUAGES 

The Sami languages are likely the only languages in the Northern Europe, maintaining a significant substrate from the unknown, pre-Uralic and pre-Indo-European languages, the first inhabitants of the region after the Ice Age.

One word in English of ultimately Sami origin is "Tundra", meaning "treeless plain" in one of the Eastern Sami languages, which got loaned to Russian then English

I live in the area where Kainuu Sami was spoken, Kainuu. It is extinct now and it left no trace of its existence, other than place names.

АААААААААА ШӮРР ПА̄ССЬПЭ ТО̄ННӬ, АНДИ!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥ I’m pretty sure the words are from Wiktionaty - we (Kaarkemhveel and Mycišš’k) added most of them (I added pretty much everything in Akkala section and there is a lot of work to do (see sources on Wiktionary)). RECENTLY WE BECAME SECOND BIGGEST SAMI LANG ON ENGLISH WIKTIONARY AFTER NORTHERN OWO!! Some notes: Ter Sami is really dialect depending, but there is one poem book in actual orthography (the rest are phonetic thranscriptions from various sijjt (villages), they differ sometimes quite a lot), so it’s more likely is form would be considered a standard, but who knows? Akkala doesn’t have any orthography at all. Cyrillic was choosen because it would be much easier to make it official language in case it would be revived in future, it’s specific of Russian law. The form of Cyrillic is something between Kildin and Skolt orthography (since it lays in between these in Sami dialect continuum). It’s not official though, and I doubt there would be one in nearest future due to language status. Kildin: We actually both speak Kildin (not as native lalnguage, but we know it well enough to chat in text quite casually) and we really glad to see anyone who want to learn it too (or any sami lang, especially Eastern branch rlly): our discord server is called "Learn Eastern Sámi" (I can provide the link if Andy would allow) Orthography of Kildin is not confirmed ashwell. We’re using the one with һ and ҋ, although not all speakers use it. We find it more dialect-friendly and more regular (compare ӊҏӆӎҊ and ӊҏӆӎЈ) оа is /ɑ/, е̄ is ie/jie (ideally and traditionally, but modern speakers tend to pronounce it like long e), я̄ is ea/jea, but nowadays more like jaa. If you’re in Sami - JOIN US AND SPEAK SPEAK SPEAK! Thank you again, Andy, you’re шӯрр олма! ♥♥♥ Edit: I see now, I don’t really recognise Ter words you used in the video, where did you take it I wonder? I haven’t seen that many Ter sources in Ter Cyrillic (even significant part of the Ter Sami words on Wiktionary are still in weird Latin, which was there before we came there)

Very interesting! I live in northern Sweden but rarely get to hear Sami spoken, fun to hear some of the differances around it

Шӯрр па̄ссьпэ тэнн вӣдья эвтэсьт! Чофта роа̄мм ля̄йй то̄н каналэсьт са̄мь кӣлэ баяс куӆсэ! Šūrr pāssʹpe tenn vīdʹja evtesʹt! Čofta rååm leajj tōn kanalesʹt sāmʹ kīle bajas kulhse! Thank you very much! Was very nice to hear about the Sámi languages on your channel 😊

Your videos are interesting everyday.

Mun lijkkuum ❤ Takkâ!

Your video is good. In my parallel world, sami people has their own country, called Samland.

1-8 in most Sami languages actually sounds very close to Finnish

KOMI: 1 -- öтик (öt´ik) 2 -- кык (kyk) 3 -- куим (kuim) 4 -- нёль (n´ol´) 5 -- вит (vit) 6 -- квайт (quajt) 7 -- с́из́им (s´isz´im) 8 -- кöкъямыс (kökjamys) 9 -- öкмыс (ökmys) 10 -- дас (das)

Another great deep dive.

I don’t know why, but Sami for me always associated with British stars like Rosamund Pike and Talulah Riley. Best Wishes to Sami People from Kazakhstan.

Sami people are one of the many interestingly the indigenous peoples of Europe.

Inari Sami sounds like Finnish.

Шӯрр па̄ссьпе, пай шӣг куӆсэ са̄мь кӣлэтҍ баяс лӣ, ноа та̄тчетҍ кӣлл куськ вуэзхэллмужэтҍ уйнсэ! :)

It’s very interasting to searching about Paleo Laplandic languages

freedom to the sami

Nice video ❤️💪💪

it’s not SAMMY it’s SAHmee 😅 (said with love from a Sámi)

Southern Sami is the only Sami language with no consonant gradation. Southern Sami's closest relative is Ume Sami, but unlike Southern Sami, Ume Sami has consonant gradation.

Free Samiland

Northern Sami counting system is very similar to Hungarian.it is more similar to Hungarian than to Finnish, the Finnish numbering is different

As a native Finnish speaker, I can easily recognize the numbers

Most of those languages sounds like Votic or Karelian, they are strongly related to Balto-Finnic languages.

i live in the area of kildin saami, and i haven't seen a single saami speaker for my entire life ..

You are the most intheresting and beautiful❤l People

The Northern languages of the North 🙃

Can someone write how much each of the Ural languages is spoken?

Neljä gang

Kildin and Ter Sami have both Russian accent.

Is it bad if I kinda prefer the name "Lapland" rather than Sapmi? :v

7 is "čiččâm" in both Inari Sami and Skolt Sami.

As scientists, or linguists say, hungarian language also belongs to the uralic languages. As i'm hearing in this audio, many sami or lapp languages use da word KUEHTE o somethin like that for number 2, and NELJA O NELLIE for numba 4. We say KETTŐ for the number two, and NÉGY for 4. Something more! As linguists say, da swahili language belons to the niger and congo-language family. While hungarian is a(n) uralic o finno ugric language, on da ugric branch. But! As i heard the numbers in swahili, tha number four is NE! When i heard that, i thought WTF please?! How can kenyan or ugandan people say NE in swahili and we say NÉGY for da number 4 please! While finnishes n samis say NELJA!...
