Learn North Sámi
Davvisámegiella · 25,000 speakers · Lemmatizer: GiellaLT
North Sámi is the most widely spoken of the Sámi languages, used across the Arctic reaches of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Revitalization is well-funded; reader tools are not. Laesi fills that gap with GiellaLT — the finite-state analyzer built and maintained by the Sámi language-technology community itself.
What the big apps miss
GiellaLT, the community's own analyzer
GiellaLT was built by and for Sámi speakers. Laesi routes North Sámi through its full analyser-plus-disambiguation pipeline — real morphology, sentence-context aware.
Downloadable in-app
The North Sámi model is one click away in Laesi's Model Manager — no building from source, no command line.
Made for revitalization learners
Heritage and second-language learners are exactly who Laesi is built for. Read real Sámi text and track every word you meet.
