Abstract

North Saami (endonyms: sápmi or sámegiella ‘Saami language’, davvisámegiella ‘North Saami language’) is a Uralic language spoken by the indigenous Saami minority in the Uralic language region of Norway, Sweden and Finland. In this paper, I outline the current situation of the language and present my own work in documenting and describing the endangered and under-described Čohkkiras variety, spoken in Sweden and Norway.
