== Introduction ==
=== Overview of Sami and Karelian Languages ===


In this lesson, we will explore the fascinating world of Finnish dialects, focusing specifically on the Sami and Karelian languages. As a complete beginner in Finnish, it may seem overwhelming to dive into the intricacies of dialects, but fear not! Understanding dialects is not only a key part of becoming fluent in Finnish, but it also provides valuable insights into the cultural and historical richness of the language. By the end of this lesson, you will have a basic understanding of the Sami and Karelian languages and how they relate to Finnish, enhancing your overall language learning experience.
The Sami languages are spoken by the Sami people, who inhabit the northern parts of Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Russia. There are several Sami languages, with Northern Sami being the most widely spoken. Karelian, on the other hand, is spoken in the region of Karelia, which extends across Finland and Russia.


== Finnish Dialects: A Cultural Kaleidoscope ==
Both languages share a common ancestry with Finnish, which makes them fascinating to study. They have influenced Finnish culture and language significantly, and understanding their basics can enrich your Finnish learning experience.


Finnish dialects, or "murteet" in Finnish, are regional variations of the Finnish language. Due to Finland's geography and historical influences, several distinct dialects have developed over the centuries. These dialects differ in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, adding a colorful tapestry to the Finnish language. While the standard Finnish language, known as "yleiskieli," is widely understood and used throughout the country, dialects still play an important role in everyday communication, especially in rural areas.
=== Key Differences and Similarities ===


Dialects reflect the cultural diversity and regional identities within Finland. They are cherished as an integral part of Finnish heritage and are often celebrated through folk music, literature, and storytelling. By delving into dialects, we not only learn about the linguistic variations but also gain a deeper understanding of the local communities and their unique customs and traditions.
| Sami Language | Karelian Language | Finnish Language |


== Regional Finnish Dialects ==
|---------------|-------------------|------------------|


Before we embark on our journey to explore the Sami and Karelian languages, let's briefly touch upon some of the major regional dialects within Finland:
| Northern Sami | Karelian           | Finnish          |


=== Western Finnish ===
| Uralic roots  | Uralic roots      | Uralic roots      |


The western dialects, also known as "länsimurteet," are spoken in the western parts of Finland, including cities such as Turku and Tampere. These dialects are characterized by their distinctive pronunciation, featuring a softer "r" sound and certain vowel shifts. For example, the standard Finnish word "kahvi" (coffee) is pronounced as "kaffe" in the western dialects.
| Vowel harmony | Vowel harmony      | Vowel harmony    |


=== Eastern Finnish ===
The notable similarities include their vowel harmony and agglutinative structure, while differences can be found in vocabulary and pronunciation.


The eastern dialects, or "itämurteet," are spoken in the eastern parts of Finland, including cities such as Joensuu and Kuopio. These dialects are known for their strong "r" sound and vowel qualities that differ from standard Finnish. Additionally, the eastern dialects often have unique vocabulary and expressions not commonly found in other dialects.
=== Basic Grammar Features ===


=== Northern Finnish ===
Both Sami and Karelian languages exhibit interesting grammatical features that can be compared to Finnish grammar. Let's explore some of these features in detail.


The northern dialects, or "pohjoismurteet," are spoken in the northernmost parts of Finland, including Lapland. These dialects are heavily influenced by the Sami language and feature distinctive phonetic and grammatical characteristics. The northern dialects also borrow words from Sami and Russian, reflecting the historical connections and cultural exchanges in the region.
==== Nouns ====


=== Southern Finnish ===
Nouns in Sami and Karelian have cases similar to Finnish. For example, Northern Sami has the following cases:


The southern dialects, or "etelämurteet," are spoken in the southern parts of Finland, including the capital city Helsinki. These dialects are closest to the standard Finnish language and are often considered the most easily understandable for non-native speakers. However, they still have their own unique features, such as a softer pronunciation of certain consonants.
| Case            | Northern Sami Example  | Karelian Example    | Finnish Example    |


== Sami Language: The Voice of the North ==
|------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|---------------------|


The Sami language, also known as "saame," is an indigenous language spoken by the Sami people in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Russia. It is part of the Uralic language family, which includes Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian. The Sami language is divided into several dialects, each spoken by different Sami communities across the Arctic region.
| Nominative      | girji (book)            | kirja (book)        | kirja (book)        |


=== Sami Phonetics ===
| Genitive        | girjii                  | kirjan              | kirjan              |


The Sami language has a unique phonetic system, featuring sounds that are not present in standard Finnish. One notable feature is the presence of consonant clusters, where two or more consonants appear together in a word. For example, the word "guovžža" (reindeer) contains a consonant cluster "vž." Another distinctive sound is the voiced dental fricative "ð," which is similar to the "th" sound in English words like "that" or "this."
| Accusative      | girjja                  | kirja              | kirjan              |


=== Sami Grammar ===
In Karelian, cases also influence the noun endings, much like Finnish.


The grammar of the Sami language differs significantly from Finnish. One notable difference is the presence of grammatical cases, which indicate the role of nouns in a sentence. The Sami language has a rich system of cases, including the accusative, genitive, locative, and comitative cases, among others. These cases play a crucial role in expressing various grammatical functions, such as possession, location, and movement.
==== Adjectives ====


=== Sami Vocabulary ===
Adjectives in both Sami and Karelian languages agree with the nouns they modify, similar to how Finnish adjectives work.


The Sami language has a unique vocabulary that reflects the cultural and natural environment of the Sami people. Words related to reindeer herding, fishing, and traditional Sami customs are an integral part of the language. For example, the word "guovža" (reindeer) and "biegga" (river) are commonly used in everyday conversations among the Sami community.
| Language        | Adjective Example    | Meaning        |


== Karelian Language: A Window to the Past ==
|------------------|-----------------------|-----------------|


The Karelian language, also known as "karjala," is a Finnic language closely related to Finnish. It is spoken by the Karelian people in Finland and Russia, particularly in the historical region of Karelia. The Karelian language has several dialects, each with its own unique characteristics and pronunciation.
| Northern Sami    | dehččel (big)        | big            |


=== Karelian Phonetics ===
| Karelian         | suuri                  | big            |


The phonetic system of the Karelian language is similar to Finnish, with some variations in pronunciation. One notable difference is the use of the retroflex "r" sound, which is produced by curling the tongue back. This sound is not present in standard Finnish but is commonly found in Karelian dialects. Additionally, Karelian dialects may have different stress patterns and vowel qualities compared to standard Finnish.
| Finnish         | suuri                  | big            |


=== Karelian Grammar ===
==== Verbs ====


The grammar of the Karelian language shares many similarities with Finnish. However, there are some differences in terms of word order and inflectional endings. Karelian dialects often feature a more flexible word order, allowing for variations in sentence structure. Additionally, Karelian has its own set of inflectional endings for nouns, adjectives, and verbs, which may differ from those used in Finnish.
Verbs in Sami and Karelian are conjugated based on person, number, and tense, similar to Finnish.  


=== Karelian Vocabulary ===
| Language        | Verb Example          | Meaning        |


The vocabulary of the Karelian language overlaps with Finnish to a significant extent. However, there are also unique words and expressions specific to Karelian dialects. Words related to nature, traditional Karelian cuisine, and cultural practices are commonly used in Karelian conversations. For example, the word "kalakukko" (fish pie) is a traditional Karelian dish enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
