Southern Sami
Southern Saami is divided into two main dialects: Southern Saami sensu stricto and Ume Saami. The latter is spoken in the Ume River Valley and has some characteristics in common with Lule and Northern Saami. Southern Sami is a seriously endangered language. The last strongholds of this language are the municipalities of Snåsa and Hattfjelldal in Norway where there still are a few hundred speakers.
