The Sami language is a group of Uralic languages spoken by the Sami people, indigenous to the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of Russia. There are several distinct Sami languages, including Northern Sami, Southern Sami, and Inari Sami, each with its own unique characteristics and dialects. Sami languages are recognized for their rich vocabulary related to nature and reindeer herding, reflecting the traditional lifestyle of the Sami. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote these languages, as they are considered endangered due to declining numbers of speakers and the influence of dominant languages in the region.
