The most characteristic of them is its lack of grade alternation in central consonants, a feature that is found in all the other Saami languages and also in Finnish. In this study, I explore the vocabulary of snow: quantity, dry snow, wet snow, layers in the snow pack and the layer at the bottom of the snow pack. I further compare the basic stems, lexemes and terms with possible cognates in other Saami languages. The finding is remarkable, if not too surprising. In this article I present one hundred basic stems of snow terms, more than fifty of which have no cognates in the other Saami languages. And out of more than 150 words (lexemes) and terms, over two thirds are only found in South Saami. This seems to confirm the hypothesis that South Saami has been separated from the other Saami languages for a long period of time.<\/p>\n This study also has bearing on the discussion of how many terms for snow and ice languages may have. In spite of Geoffrey Pullum\u2019s critique of the myth created by Benjamin Lee Whorf (Pullum 1991), the Inuit languages are probably still world champions when it comes to the number of words for ice (Krupnik & M\u00fcller-Wille 2010), while South Saami should not be neglected as a candidate for the position of having the most words for snow in the world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lullis\u00e1megiela muohtas\u00e1nit Ole Henrik Magga (S\u00e1mi allaskuvla) Vie\u010d\u010da artihkkala d\u00e1s (pdf).
