Squamish

Ume Sami (Ubmejesámiengiälla) is a critically endangered Western Sami language traditionally spoken along the Ume River in northern Sweden, with only ~30 fluent speakers remaining. It sits on the dialect continuum between Pite Sami (sje) to the north and Southern Sami (sma) to the south. UNESCO classes it as critically endangered. After decades when no orthography was officially adopted, the Sami Parliament of Sweden formally adopted a Latin orthography for Ume Sami on April 6, 2016 — a major milestone for revitalization. Active reawakening efforts are underway through the Ubmejesámienosko association and Sami language nests for children.
