 Approximate distribution of Finno-Samic languages, across Northern Europe. | |
The Finno-Samic languages[a] are a hypothetical subgroup of the Uralic family, and are made up of 22 languages classified into either the Sami languages, which are spoken by the Sami people who inhabit the Sápmi region of northern Fennoscandia, or Finnic languages, which include the major languages Finnish and Estonian.[1] The grouping is not universally recognized as valid.[2]
