Learn Saami, a group of languages that bonded together known as the Sami languages, spoken in Northern Europe!
In the far north of Europe, ancient sounds, unique craftwork traditions and a particular language live side by side with modern technology.
Saami, also known as Sami, Sámi, Saame, Samic and Saamic, is spoken by the Sami people indigenous to the very north of Europe, in Sápmi, which stretches across the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula.
