This volume provides a thorough look at the Sami languages spoken in parts of Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Russia. Included is a look at common features and writing systems of the Sami languages, as well as a detailed background of each spoken variety of Sami, including Northern Sami, Southern Sami, Lule Sami, and Kildin Sami. Also provided is a look at the Sami people and the municipalities where Sami is listed as an official language. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
