A Lapp herds his reindeer across the snowy tundra.

Definition
  1. Noun:
    • A member of an indigenous nomadic people living in northern Scandinavia and herding reindeer: "Lapp" refers to a person belonging to the Sámi people, traditionally living in the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia, and historically associated with reindeer herding.
    • The language of the Sámi people: "Lapp" can also refer to the group of Uralic languages spoken by this people, more accurately known as Sámi languages.
Usage Notes
  • The term "Lapp" is considered outdated and potentially offensive by many of the people it describes. The preferred and respectful terms are Sámi (for the people) and Sámi languages.
  • In historical or anthropological texts, you may still encounter the word "Lapp." In modern contexts, it is important to use the term "Sámi."
Examples
  • Noun (referring to a person):
    • The museum exhibit described the traditional clothing of the Lapp people. (Note: Modern usage would prefer "Sámi people.")
    • He studied the migration patterns of the Lapp reindeer herders.
  • Noun (referring to the language):
    • Several dialects of Lapp are spoken across the region.
    • She is conducting research on Lapp folklore and linguistics.
Advanced Usage
  • The term is sometimes used in compound names for geographical features or cultural items within its historical context, e.g., "Lappland" (the region), though "Sápmi" is the Sámi name for their homeland.
Variants and Related Words
  • Sámi (n.): The contemporary and preferred term for the people and their culture.
  • Saami (n.): An alternative spelling of Sámi.
  • Lappish (adj.): An adjective relating to the Lapp (Sámi) people or their languages. (e.g., ).
  • Lapplander (n.): A less common synonym.
Synonyms
  • Sámi
  • Saami
  • Lapplander (archaic)
Important Note on Usage
  • "Lapp" is largely considered an exonym (a name given by outsiders) and can carry derogatory connotations. For clear, respectful, and accurate communication, it is strongly recommended to use Sámi.
