This article is way too long...

...and should be chopped up into smaller, more manageable bits. It takes forever to load on slow connections. For example, most of the grammar parts could be moved to Northern Sami grammar, much like we have Finnish grammar as a spin-off of the Finnish language article, etc. -Yupik (talk) 02:15, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the page is far too large. I'll think about creating a separate article on the grammar once I've verified everything here; I'd rather not move a whole bunch of unverified material onto a new page. ArcticSeeress (talk) 23:52, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IPA transcription for 'davvisámegiella'

Why is the IPA transcription for 'davvisámigiella' '/ˈtav.viː.ˌsaː.me.ˌkie̯l.la/'? I originally added it as '[davvisaːmegie̯lla]' and then @Rua: corrected me. I'm not saying they're wrong, I just don't quite understand. Logan Sherwin (talk) 19:45, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's just how it's pronounced, isn't it? Why is anything pronounced the way it is? Rua (mew) 20:28, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, for some reason I thought that in the current orthography 'd' always correspded to [d] and 'g' always corresponded to [g]. Now that I'm reading more about the orthography (and phonology) I understand. Sorry about that! :) Also, I'm kinda new to talk pages, and I'm not sure whether or not I delete this section now that the discussion topic it resolved. Should I?

Sources that say ...

Back in the 1990s, the church strongly opposed the use of the Sami language in the church in Enontekiö. Not a single word in the Sami language was allowed to be heard here, according to Nils-Henrik Valkeapää from Enontekiö .--Link,

New page?

This article is absurdly long to read for comfort... I think we should put the grammar part into a separate article... Dvorakuser1 (talk) 04:23, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
