The article gives an analysis of the demographic material for North Sami in Norway during the last 150 years, and compares it to key tendencies in some of the Uralic languages of the Soviet Union. The present linguistic landscape can be predicted with great accuracy from Friis' survey of 1860. At that time, bilingualism among the Norwegians was widespread in parishes with predominantly Sami or Finnish (Kven) population. During the assimilation process, the preservation of Sami was not due to the size of the Sami population, but rather to its relative size. Today's Sami communities are the ones with the least Norwegians one and a half centuries ago. A key factor in the language shift process has been mixed marriages. The Soviet data show a greater degree of language preservation, especially for the Nenets and Mari. The difference is partly a result of the Soviet language policy, but also to the degree of contact between the minority and majority populations. |
