_Course description_
In the course, we offer an overview of South Saami, with focus on the 
language's grammatical structure, but with elements of learning 
communicative skills as well. South Saami is a small and endangered 
Uralic language spoken by 500-1000 speakers in Sweden and Norway. It is 
currently revitalized and its use increases in education and media, 
which makes South Saami interesting not least from a socio-linguistic 
perspective. It also represents the western-most Uralic language and the 
end of the Saamic dialect continuum.

The course sill start with an introduction to Saamic languages (taught 
by Torbjörn Söder and Rogier Blokland) followed by the language course 
itself (taught by Richard Kowalik). We will cover the main word classes, 
their inflection and their function, and the main syntactic features of 
the language. We will train to write and speak in group exercises. There 
will be two guest lectures on language revitalization and on historical 
aspects of the language.
