	The main outline of the earlier settlement of Ostrobothnia
		I think that the southwestern Finns first settled down on the southern Ostrobothnian coast in the old inhabited area from Malax to Lillkyro and Vörå, also in the Karleby area and especially farther north to the lower regions of the Torneå river where they were lured by the large catches of salmon.
		The Tavastians also began to settle in southern Österbotten at the beginning of the lower reach of the Kyro river from Lillkyro to Ylistaro, but their trade area stretched only to the Kemi and Torneå rivers.
		South Österbotten’s Finnish population descended mostly from the Tavastians who came there mainly from the upper part of Satakunda and the dialect there is also a branch of the Tavast dialect.

		The Tavastians are a powerful and warlike tribe that inhabits the interior of Western Finland, with their heartlands in the Vanaja region.
		Thus far the Tavastians have been left largely to their own devices and have been able to hunt and trade furs and other items they can acquire in the vast wilderness that they control, and organize seasonal raiding parties to inflict misery upon their neighbouring tribes.
		The Tavastians must unite their resources if they are to repel such serious threats to their homelands, their pagan faith and ultimately, their way of life.

		The history of Lahti is marked by migration, and the city has transformed itself whenever new people have arrived.
		One of the local phenomena is the way in which the proverbial slowness of the Tavastians has been influenced by the similarly proverbial liveliness of the Karelians, producing what is today recognised as stereotypical of people originating from Lahti.
		The integration of newcomers has been more straightforward in Lahti than elsewhere, thanks to the city being particularly welcoming of new people and influences.

	The Baltic Finns: Finland
		The Hämäläiset or Tavastians are said to represent, in least mixed form, the original Finnish invaders from Esthonia.
		The Savolaiset, or people of Savolax, are linguistically a mixture between Tavastians and Carelians; the latter are naturally identified with their tribal companions who live over the border in the Carelian S. Republic, and whom we have already studied.
		The southern Ostrobothnians speak a dialect which is transitional between Tavastian and Kvaenish, the latter being their earlier speech.
