Focusing on <<Linguistics and Language Planning in the Sami Community>>, this paper gives an outline of the institutions involved in Sami language care, and inter alia poses the question of <<which institutions should be, and are capable of taking on the responsibility of the Sami Community, with regard to the supposed interaction between this community and Sami language care?>> - Sami language care is characterized as suffering from two main deficiencies: a) lack of resources, and b) lack of organisation. Relating to the work and discussions of the ortographical reforms (Southern Sami 1976-78, Lule Sami, and Northern Sami 1983); the author enumerates various lines of reasoning, each emphazising various concerns and considerations, as: 1) Accuracy and system, 2) Tradition, 3) Due concern to own premises, 4) Due concern to different dialectical realisations, 5) The demand for <<naturalness>> and <<simpleness>>, 6) Pedagogical concerns, 7) Historical foundations and 8) Internationality and technical considerations. - The author points out how these considerations are interconnected; partly contradicting each other and partly pointing in the same direction. Finally the author emphazises the minority situation of the Sami language, and stresses the need for viewing language planning in light of its interconnections with the surrounding society.
