Kildin Saami is a seriously endangered Eastern Saamic (Uralic) language spoken in the Russian Federation.

Name

The name Kildin is borrowed from Russian kilʼdin-, the name for an island on the Barents Sea coast close to present-day Murmansk. The Russian name of the island goes back to the Kildin Saami toponym kīllt, which originally referred only to one rather peripheral dialect of this language.

Location

Kildin Saami is spoken on the Kola peninsula in northwesternmost Russia.

Speakers

The number of active fluent speakers is estimated at around 100 (2011);[1] the overall number of speakers goes perhaps up to 800.

  • Kīllt
