"There is no register of ethnic affiliation in Norway, neither is there an official register of speakers of different Sámi languages. Therefore, the estimations on the total number of North Sámi speakers in Norway varies from 10,000 (Sammallahti 1998: 1) to 25,000 (Sametinget 2005). The number of North Sámi speakers in Sweden is estimated to be about 5000, and in Finland from about 2000 (Sammallahti 1998:1)."

"The North Sámi are in the majority in the following municipalities in Norway: Guovdageaidnu (in Norwegian Kautokeino), Kárášjohka (Karasjok), Deatnu (Tana) and Unjárga (Nesseby). The municipalities of Porsáŋgu (Porsang) and Gáivuotna (Kåfjord) also have a noticeable concentration of North Sámi people. In addition North Sámi speakers live outside the central North Sámi speaking area, especially in the cities."

"The negative attitudes towards the Sámi languages, which arose in the era of Norwegianisation and were also transmitted among the Sámi themselves, partly still exist. Gradually however, the attitudes among the Sámi people have changed to a more positive direction and in some regions linguistic revitalisation has taken place, and the prestige and social status of the Sámi language has grown."

"In 1988 the Norwegian Parliament, adopted an amendment, Section 110 A, to the Norwegian constitution. This amendment states that the Norwegian state has the duty and responsibility to provide and ensure the conditions for the Sámi people to preserve and develop their culture, language and way of life. According to the Sámi Act the Norwegian and Sámi language have equal status, which in practice means the area of, Sámegiela hálddášanguovlu ‘the Administration Area for Sámi language’.
