Skolt Sami (sääˊmǩiõll ‘the Saami language’ or nuõrttsää’mǩiõll 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 Njuõˊttjäuˊrr (Notozero) dialect in an area surrounding Lake Lovozero in Russia. Skolt Sami used to also be spoken on the Neiden area of Norway although it has died out there.
