Your school will inform you about which languages you can choose from. If your child meets the requirements for mother tongue instruction, the student can study his or her mother tongue as their language choice. National minority languages as mother tongues within the framework forlanguage choice National minority languages must always be offered as language choice. Mother tongue instruction in a national minority language can also take place outside the regular timetabled time if the student and parent wish to use the language choice to study one of the modern languages. The national minority languages are Yiddish, Finnish, Meänkieli, Sami (different varieties) and Romani chib (different varieties). The principal decides whether your child has the right to mother tongue instruction within the framework for language choice It is the principal of your school who decides whether your child has the right to mother tongue instruction within the framework for language choice.

Consonant Gradation in Estonian and Sámi: Two-Level Solution TROND TROSTERUD and HELI UIBO
14 Consonant Gradation in Estonian and Sámi: Two-Level Solution TROND TROSTERUD AND HELI UIBO 14.1 Introduction Koskenniemi’s two-level morphology was the first practical general model in the history of computational linguistics for the analysis of morphologi- cally complex languages. In this article we will reconsider one of the key innovations in Koskenniemi (1983), namely the treatment of consonant gra- dation in finite state transducers. We will look not at Finnish, but at two lan- guages with a more extensive consonant gradation system, namely Estonian and Sámi. The goal of the paper is to demonstrate two different ways of mod- eling consonant gradation in a finite state morphological system - lexical and morphophonological. We will also compare the resulting systems by their computational complexity and human-readability. Consonant gradation is rare among the languages of the world, but stem al- ternation in itself is not, and the treatment of consonant gradation can readily be transferred to other stem alternation phenomena. Koskenniemi’s original idea was to see stem alternation as an agglutinative phenomenon. Consider the example (14.1), showing a two-level representation of stem alternation. ehT e$:ehe (14.1) Here the $ sign is a quasi-suffix, introduced to trigger consonant grada- tion in the stem. Two-level rules decide the correspondence of T to surface phonemes t or 0 (empty symbol), based on the context, specifically, according to the presence or absence of the symbol $ in the right context. Another type of rules for handling stem alternations that can be compiled Inquiries into Words, Constraints and Contexts.

On Transfer of Sámi Traditional Knowledge: Scientification, Traditionalization, Secrecy, and Equality*
On Transfer of Sámi Traditional Knowledge: Scientification, Traditionalization, Secrecy, and Equality* Elina Helander-Renvall and Inkeri Markkula Introduction The aim of this chapter is to elaborate how Sámi traditional knowledge is ar- ticulated and transferred, especially as part of research activities. As a starting point, we will discuss traditional knowledge and its various understandings. Further on, we will trace and address some of the concerns that Sámi have in relation to how their reality is researched and described. Special attention will be paid to the secrecy surrounding some Sámi traditions and some knowl- edge in the context of conducting research on such issues; the scientifĳication of Sámi knowledge; the traditionalization (actualization) of various traditions; and the need for equality between scientifĳic and traditional knowledge. Traditional knowledge ( TK) has many defĳinitions. Traditional knowledge may be defĳined as knowledge that has a long historical and cultural continu- ity, having been passed down through generations, as Berkes has noted.1 In the book on traditional knowledge by Porsanger and Guttorm2 the concept árbediehtu (inherited knowledge, a Northern Sámi word) is used to refer to Sámi knowledge. They state that árbediehtu is ‘the collective wisdom and skills of the Sámi people used to enhance their livelihood for centuries. It has been * We would like to thank Regional Council of Lapland, European Regional Development Fund, and University of Lapland for the fĳinancial support for the project Traditional Eco- logical Knowledge in the Sami Homeland Region of Finland which was conducted at the Arctic Centre, Rovaniemi during 1.1.2014-30.4.2015. The general aim of this project was to promote the status of Sami traditional ecological knowledge through support to the Sami craftswomen.

National Museums in Sápmi Arne Bugge Amundsen
Building National Museums in Europe 1750-2010. Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Bologna 28-30 April 2011. Peter Aronsson & Gabriella Elgenius (eds) EuNaMus Report No 1. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=064 © The Author. National Museums in Sápmi Arne Bugge Amundsen Summary A case of high complexity, when discussed in a national museum perspective, is Sápmi, the accepted name of the multi-state area of the ’Sámi nation’ of Northern Europe. In the Sápmi case, museum history should be told in a retrospective manner. It is quite a recent phenomenon that the Sámi population in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia – after centuries of political suppression and decades of systematic assimilation strategies from the governments – is regarded as a nation and with Sápmi – the transnational area where the Sámi population has its traditional centre – as its geographical location. In this case, ‘the nation’ is conceived as a cultural and social entity with strong political ambitions both within and across established national borders in the region. Hence, there are no old national museums and no politically acknowledged Sámi state but explicit ideas on ‘national identity’. On the one hand, the Sámi population and the Sámi culture to a certain extent were included in the national narratives of Norway, Sweden and Finland in the nineteenth century, then mostly as an exotic element of the nation and exemplifying ‘primitive cultures’ of the north. On the other hand, the Sámi nation is a cultural construction of recent origin, albeit with some political institutions within and across established states.

FST Morphology for the Endangered Skolt Sami Language Jack Rueter, Mika Hämäläinen Department of Digital Humanities University of Helsinki {jack.rueter, mika.hamalainen}@helsinki.fi Abstract We present advances in the development of a FST-based morphological analyzer and generator for Skolt Sami. Like other minority Uralic languages, Skolt Sami exhibits a rich morphology, on the one hand, and there is little golden standard material for it, on the other. This makes NLP approaches for its study difficult without a solid morphological analysis. The language is severely endangered and the work presented in this paper forms a part of a greater whole in its revitalization efforts. Furthermore, we intersperse our description with facilitation and description practices not well documented in the infrastructure. Currently, the analyzer covers over 30,000 Skolt Sami words in 148 inflectional paradigms and over 12 derivational forms. Keywords: Skolt Sami, endangered languages, morphology 1.

The Danish-German Border: Making a Border and Marking Different Approaches to Minority Geographical Names Questions
The Danish-German border: Making a border and marking different approaches to minority geographical names questions Peter GAMMELTOFT* The current German-Danish border was established in 1920-21 following a referendum, dividing the original duchy of Schleswig according to national adherence. This border was thus the first border, whose course was decided by the people living on either side of it. Nonetheless, there are national and linguistic minorities on either side of the border even today – about 50,000 Danes south of the border and some 20,000 Germans north of the border. Although both minorities, through the European Union’s Charter for Regional and National Minorities, have the right to have signposting and place-names in their own language, both minorities have chosen not to demand this. Elsewhere in the German- Scandinavian region, minorities have claimed this right. What is the reason behind the Danish and German minorities not having opted for onomastic equality? And how does the situation differ from other minority naming cases in this region? These questions, and some observations on how the minorities on the German-Danish border may be on their way to obtaining onomastic equality, will be discussed in this paper. INTRODUCTION Article 10.2.g. of the Council of Europe’s European Charter for Regional and National Minorities (ETS no. 148) calls for the possibility of public display of minority language place-names.１ This is in accordance with the Council of Europe’s Convention no. 157: Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. Here, the right for national minorities to use place-names is expressed in Article 11, in particular sub-article 3,２ which allows for the possibility of public display of traditional minority language * Professor, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Donner une définition précise aux Sames du Sud est évidemment une tâche ardue, aussi ne me risquerai-je pas à décider ce qui caractérise l’appartenance au peuple same du Sud et ce qui n’est pas pertinent. Le Conseil Same, sorte de fédération de toutes les associations sames créée en 1956, a donné en 1986 sa propre définition des Sames : We, Saami, are one people, united in our own culture, language and history, living in areas which, since time immemorial and up to historical times, we alone inhabited and utilised.

The Southern Sami Drum (Gievrie)- Discovery, Recovery and Recontextualising
The Southern Sami Drum (Gievrie)- discovery, recovery and recontextualising Martin Callanan∗1 1Dept of Historical Studies, NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology { Dept of Historical Studies, NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway., Norvège Résumé Sami frame drums, consisting of a wooden frame covered by a decorated membrane are the most common type of ceremonial drum from the Southern Sami region in central Scandi- navia. Well-preserved examples have complex decorations and offerings in the form of cords, rings and metal ornaments. Pointers and hammers were used together with the drums during certain ceremonies. Gievrie is Southern Sami language term for these drums. Around 44 examples of the Southern Sami Gievrie exist today. They allow us valuable glimpses into the materiality of past ceremonies and ritual life. They also have enormous symbolic power. Not least in relation to historical and political negotiations in the recent past, when Southern Sami minorities were subject to christianization and nationalization processes by Church and State. During certain periods, Church officials confiscated Sami drum they were seen as pagan objects. Sometimes, the drums' owners hid their Gievrie in the mountains rather than hand them over to State authorities. In recent years, a number of Gievrie that remained hidden in the mountains have been dis- covered and brought into regional museums. Furthermore, in 2017 a famous well-preserved Gievrie from Freavnantjahke that today belongs to a German museum, was loaned out temporarily to form the centerpiece of a museum exhibition during the Tr˚aante2017 Sami centenary celebrations in Trondheim.

The National Minority Languages in Sweden – Their Status in Legislation and in Practice
Lena Ekberg The national minority languages in Sweden – their status in legislation and in practice Abstract: De nationella minoritetsspråken i Sverige – deras status i lagstiftning och i praktiken År 2000 blev finska, jiddisch, meänkieli, romani chib och samiska nationella minoritetsspråk i Sverige, i samband med att regeringen undertecknade Europarådets minoritetsspråkskonvention. Finska, meänkieli och samiska identifierades som territoriella språk och fick en högre skyddsgrad än de icke-territoriella språken jiddisch och romani chib. Det finns betydande skillnader mellan de fem nationella minoritets- språken vad gäller inte bara laglig status utan också beträffande antal talare och attityder från majoritets- befolkningen. Finska, som är det i särklass största minoritetsspråket och det andra största språket i Sverige, har en stabil position i det svenska samhället men har samtidigt blivit i viss mån “osynligt”. Meänkieli och samiska, särskilt sydsamiska, är de språk som är akut mest utrotningshotade. Jiddisch har mycket få modersmålstalare, men den judiska minoriteten utgör å andra sidan en välorganiserad grupp. Lägst status i majoritetssamhället har (fortfarande) den romska gruppen och det romska språket. In year 2000 Sweden ratified the European Charter for Regional and Minority Lan- guages. Five languages were officially recognised as national minority languages, namely Finnish, Meänkieli (Tornedalian Finnish), Yiddish, Romany and Sami. Com- mon for these languages is that they have been spoken in Sweden for hundreds of years. Sami, Meänkieli and Finnish were identified as regional languages, in contrast to Yiddish and Romany. Sami, Meänkieli and Finnish are historically spoken in the Norrbotten County. Finnish is also spoken in industrial districts along the coast of Norrbotten, in Stockholm and the district of Mälardalen and in the big cities in general.
