	SAMI IN SWEDEN
		The Sami core area (traditionally called Sápmi) consists of a large area stretching from the east coast of the Kola peninsula, across the northernmost districts of Finland, into the coastal and inland parts of northern and central Norway, through the inland region of Sweden.
		However, Sami is not considered to be a fully official language and it is not usually possible for speakers to address the Administration in the language.
		Sami people, today, have more means to reproduce their own language, although the survival of Sami does not depend on institutional help but on its speakers' attitudes and life conditions.

	Adult education for Samis - 1
		The Samis have had to, and still have to, fight to get an education which to any extent is built on their own language and culture, giving knowledge which is relevant to them.
		Because of this, a considerable number of the Samis were neither educated in their mother tongue, nor in their second language, but in a third or fourth language which they seldom met outside the school.
		A majority of the pupils with Sami as a first language are educated fully or partly in Sami as the medium of instruction, however in certain schools the Samis meet their own language only when being taught the Sami language.

		Even though the Sami's are one people that share a common past, there has been a lot of differentiation over the ages.
		The Sami's are not such a homogeneous group one could be made to believe after reading some of the descriptions found in english literature and on some websites.
		The Sami language also differs quite a lot from area to area, and when one person travels from one end of the Sami nation to the other the difference gets that large that the dialects gets mutually incomprehensible.

	Sami
		In Finland, where there are not very many Sami speakers compared to Norway, particular orthographic practices of that language write long vowels with double letters, hence "saami".
		As a borrowing it ought to come from Norwegian rather than =46innish; -aa- is rare enough in English and "Sami" is natural enough (cf swami, naturalized in English from Sanakrit for at least 200 years).
		Yes, it is my view that the councils for Sami speakers in the Nordic countries have erred in choosing "Saami" over "Sami", which is by far an away the more natural spelling in English, just as it is in Norwegian and Swedish.
