Кильдинский саамский

Kildin Sami (Кӣллт са̄мь кӣлл Kīllt Saaʹmme kīll, "Kildin Sami language") is a Sami language of the Kola Peninsula in NW Russia and the only Sami language with an ongoing Russian-territory literacy program. Named after Kildin Island, the language was the basis for the Soviet-era Kola Sami written standard, with the modern 1991 Cyrillic alphabet developed by Aleksandra Antonova and Rimma Kuruch. The Kola Sami population was forcibly relocated to Lovozero in the Soviet era, concentrating speakers but also disrupting traditional reindeer-herding nomadism. Severely endangered: most younger generation speakers are L2 Russian-dominant with passive Kildin understanding. Lovozero hosts the annual Sami Day celebrations.
