Skolt Sami greeting

Comments Off on Skolt Sami greeting

Sääʹmmán ñeščá! (The Skolt greeting: "How are you?")

This is in the Sámi language, specifically the self-name for Skolt Sámi as sääʹmǩiõll or nuõrttsääʹmǩiõll, meaning "Young Sámi language" and refers to a variant spoken by the Skolt people.

A fun fact is that Skolt Sámi was nearly lost due to the relocation of its speakers from their traditional homeland on the shores of Lake Inari in Finland to Russia in the 1940s, but it has seen revival efforts since then.
