Sami people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sami people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The abbreviation Lap(p) has been used to abbreviate peoples in Northern Scandinavia who call themselves Sápmelaš 'someone of Sami kin' or Sabme 'Sami' or Sámit 'the Samis'. However, in some Sami languages, the term Sami may refer only to speakers of these languages, e.g. Skolt Sami speakers say they speak sää´mǩiõll 'Sami language', but this term refers exclusively to Skolt Sami."
I was watching this movie called "cuckoo" it has a lapp woman in it and I didnt know who they were. The movie is pretty good with a finnish and a russian stuck with this lady in the middle of nowhere towards the end of WWII. none of them knows the other persons language.
