What is another word for the Sami?
Pronunciation: [ðə sˈɑːmi] (IPA) 
The Sami people, also known as the Saami, Sámi, Lapp, or Laplanders, are indigenous people who traditionally inhabit the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia. The term "Sámi" is the official term used by the Sami Parliament in all four countries, whereas "Lapp" is considered outdated and, in some cases, offensive. "Saami" and "Sámi" are commonly used in Sweden and Norway, respectively. Other synonyms for the Sami include "Norse Finn," "Forest Finn," and "Mountain Finn." However, these terms are not widely accepted and are considered derogatory. It is important to use the proper terminology to show respect for the Sami people and their cultural identity.
