There are 11 recognized Sami languages, each with its own unique dialectal variation:
* Northern Sami: Spoken in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.
* Lule Sami: Spoken in Sweden and Norway.
* Pite Sami: Spoken in Sweden.
* Ume Sami: Spoken in Sweden.
* Inari Sami: Spoken in Finland.
* Skolt Sami: Spoken in Finland and Russia.
* Ter Sami: Spoken in Norway.
* Southern Sami: Spoken in Norway.
* Lule Sami: Spoken in Sweden and Norway.
* Pite Sami: Spoken in Sweden.
* Ume Sami: Spoken in Sweden.
It's important to note that:
* Some of these languages are considered endangered, with only a few hundred speakers.
* Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, and Russian are also widely spoken by Sami people, especially in urban areas.
* There is no single "Sami language." The Sami people have diverse linguistic traditions.
