Taking critical indigenous education as the starting point, this meta- theoretical article discusses language revitalisation through mediating structures. Mediating structures provide the tools necessary to use language revitalisation as a means to counter the legacy of assimilation that has seriously affect- ed the Sámi languages and caused language change. The article brings together recent research on the revitalisation of the Sámi languages. These studies are oriented towards the present situation of the Sámi languages and efforts to re- vive the languages. Relying on previous studies as well as new research, the article presents a communal model of lan- guage recovery, which facilitates an increase in the number of language speakers and also supports language domains. Such a mediating language revitalisation model builds social harmony in a postcolonial situation. The article emphasises the key tasks involved in the recovery of endangered languages.

  • The Prehistoric Context of the Oldest Contacts Between Baltic and Finnic Languages
    Santeri Junttila Department of Finnish, Finno-Ugrian and Scandinavian Studies University of Helsinki The prehistoric context of the oldest contacts between Baltic and Finnic languages Dating and locating the ancient contacts between Baltic and Finnic is a cru- cial question when searching for the origins of the Finnic languages. Evidence gained from linguistic palaeontology seems to place Proto-Uralic in the Volga- Kama Basin, some 2000 kilometres east of the Baltic, in a region where the Uralic Mari and Udmurt languages are still spoken today (see Toivonen 1952 for a well-detailed study of the fi eld and Häkkinen 2009 for a somewhat revised view). However, there is no clear linguistic or archaeological evidence to tell us when Proto-Uralic broke down into its different daughter languages and when one of these, Proto-Finnic, had left this eastern area and spread to the shores of the Baltic Sea. In order to reconstruct the process and its different stages we require information that can be provided by the Baltic loanwords. As the Baltic loanwords are not attested in the more eastern Uralic branches, with the exception of a relatively few lexical items in Mordvinic (cf. van Pareren 2008 and Grünthal, this volume, for a recent detailed overview of the question), we must assume that the contacts took place when Finnic already was an inde- pendent branch within the Uralic language family or was at least in the process of breaking off. The contacts cannot be located far away from where the Baltic languages are or have been spoken. The area in which the Baltic languages were spoken was prehistorically much wider than it is today, since the major hydro- nyms of a vast area between Moscow and the mouth of the Vistula are of Baltic origin (Toporov – Trubačev 1962).

  • An Essay on Saami Ethnolinguistic Prehistory*
    Luobbal Sámmol Sámmol Ánte (Ante Aikio) Giellagas Institute University of Oulu An essay on Saami ethnolinguistic prehistory* “Sámiid boahtimušas ii leat gullon, ahte livččo boahtán gosge.” – Johan Turi This essay deals with the study of the ethnolinguistic past of the Saami. In re- cent years many novel fi ndings have emerged in the fi eld of Saami historical linguistics, and the interpretation of these new results allows a coherent timeline of the development of the Saami languages to be established. The Proto-Saami language appears to have fi rst evolved somewhere in the Lakeland of southern Finland and Karelia in the Early Iron Age. A broad body of evidence points to the conclusion that the Middle Iron Age (ca. 300–800 AD) in Lapland has been a period of radical ethnic, social, and linguistic change: in this period the Proto- Saami language spread to the area from the south and Saami ethnicities formed. Prior to this, Lapland was inhabited by people of unknown ethnicity that spoke non-Uralic languages, many relics of which survive in Saami vocabulary and place-names. In the archaeological record of Lapland the Middle Iron Age is an obscure period characterized by sparse fi nds and lack of ceramics and iron production. This apparent correlation between ‘archaeological invisibility’ and major ethnolinguistic change poses intriguing questions regarding the nature of this period of Saami prehistory. 1. Introduction Since the very beginning of scientifi c study of the history of the Saami, schol- ars have wondered about our “origin” – whence we came and why we speak Finno-Ugric languages related to Finnish and Hungarian.
