Sažetak
The key problem tackled in this paper concerns the insufficient recognition of each of the nine distinct varieties spoken by the Saami people, which are normally referred to in singular as "the Saami languge". This practice is mostly due to lack of an appropriate level of standardization needed for creating an adequate language preservation policy. The result is that all Saami languages except North and South Saami, which have a few thousands speakers, are serously endangered. Orthography, basic grammar structure, and lexicon have also been briefly discussed.
