Kemi Sami is a Sami language that was originally spoken in the southernmost district of Finnish Lapland as far south as the Sami siidas around Kuusamo. A complex of local variants which had a distinct identity from other Sami dialects but existed in a linguistic continuum between Inari Sami and Skolt Sami (some Kemi groups sounded more like Inari and some more like Skolt due to geographic proximity). Extinct now for over 100 years few written examples of Kemi Sami survive.
