Saami is spoken in Sápmi-Lapland region of Fennoscandia (a geographical region comprising four countries namely: Russia, Finland, Norway and Sweden). There are approximately 30,000 speakers of the Uralic language of Saami.

Visitors to Lapland will see it casts a powerful spell, and has an irresistible romance to it that haunts the imagination and memory. While you won’t see polar bears or rocky fjords, there is something intangible here that makes it magic. The midnight sun, the Sámi peoples, the aurora borealis and the wandering reindeer are all components of this, as is good old Santa Claus himself, who “officially” resides here. Another part of the spell is in the awesome latitudes — at Nuorgam, the northernmost point, you will have passed Iceland and nearly all of Canada and Alaska.

Saami is spoken in Finland, Sweden, Norway and extreme northwestern Russia.

Here are some of the basic Saami phrases that you will use often:

• Mu namma lea... (My name is...)
• Oaidnaleapmai! (See you later!)
• Man boaris don leat? (How old are you?)
