Skolt Saami is one of the five living Eastern Saamic languages.
Contents
Name
The name skolt, and derived from it Finnish koltta, is likely borrowed from North-Germanic (Norwegian) skalle (cf. Old Norse skoltr, English skull) and means originally 'bald' (skallet in Norwegian).[1]
Location
Skolt Saami is spoken in the borderland area between Russia, Norway and Finland.
Speakers
There are estimated to be about 300 speakers,[2] with the vast majority of whom living in Finland. Only somewhat more than 20 Skolt Saami speakers live in Russia.[3] Although the traditional Skolt Saami dialect of Norway is extinct, the language is again spoken in its original areas there by a few Finnish Skolt Saami domiciled in Norway.[4]
Dialects
Skolt-Saami can be split up into the following dialects:[5].
Northern Skolt Saami
- Njauddâm
- Paaččjokk – Peäccam – Mue´tǩǩ
Southern Skolt Saami
- Suõ´nn’jel
- Njuõ´ttjäu´rr – Sââ´rvesjäu´rr
The names of the dialects coincide with the names of the original Skolt Saami villages (or rather settlement areas, in Skolt Saami called sijdd), but note that a few of them are merged into two common dialects.
