Skolt Sami ( 'the Saami language' or if a distinction needs to be made between it and the other Saami languages) is a
Uralic,
Sami language spoken by approximately 400 speakers in
Finland, mainly in
Sevettijärvi, and approximately 20–30 speakers of the Njuõ'ttjäu'rr (Notozero) dialect in an area surrounding
Lake Lovozero in
Russia. Skolt Sami also used to be spoken in the
Neiden area of
Norway. It is written using a Roman
orthography that was made official in 1973.
