Skolt Sami language (Topic)

Skolt Sámi (sääʹmǩiõll, lit. 'the Sámi language'; or nuõrttsääʹmǩiõll, lit. 'the Eastern Sámi language') is a Sámi language that is spoken by the Skolts, with approximately 300 speakers in Finland, mainly in Sevettijärvi and approximately 20–30 speakers of the Njuõʹttjäuʹrr (Notozero) dialect in an area surrounding Lake Notozero in Russia. In Norway, there are fewer than 15 that can speak Skolt Sámi (as of 2023); furthermore, the language is largely spoken in the Neiden area. It is written using a modified Roman orthography which was made official in 1973.
