The Sami are assimilating rapidly though. They have been intermarrying for generations (previously often by force, these days quite voluntarily), and unlike Icelandic and Faroese, the Sami languages are dying fast since they've been replaced by Norwegian, Swedish etc.

Sure, whatever.

I don't care about this conversation anymore because I was downvoted by the latest and greatest Europeans with sticks up their asses. Why? We'll never know.

Participating in this site is not worth it sometimes.

I didn't downvote you, but comparing the Sami, thinly stretched across remote regions in four countries, to the independent island nation of Iceland is, uhh, naive.
