Lapp: Finnish & Russian Bible History (1)

Useful Resources

**List: Lapp: Finnish & Russian Ministry the Bible ( the Bible ) Lapp: Finnish... "The Lapps, who number about 35,000, are scattered throughout the Artic north of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and adjacent Russia.   They are primarily migratory reindeer herdsmen, hunt- ers, and fishermen.   More than half the Laplanders live in Norway, where they are gradually becoming more settled. Although the Lapps are the original inhabitants of the Lapland region, they are thought to have moved there from Central Asia. If so, they probably acquired their Finno-Ugric tongue from the Finns.   Lapp is spoken with national dialectal variations, but, owing to the Lapps’ itinerant habits, these dialects are not rigidly contained by national borders. The Lapps of Finland, who number only about 2,000, speak a dialect closely related to that used by the Russian Lapps.   Some- times Finnish and Russian Lapp are classified in the Eastern Lapp group.   Selections in the Finnish Lapp dialect were trans- lated and published as early as 1825 by Jacob Fellman, a pastor at Utsjoki and Enara.   The Liturgical Gospels and Epistles, in the translation of A. Andelin, were published in 1860 at Oulu. Another version of these Liturgical passages by A. Hakkarainen appeared in 1905, the only publication in Roman character."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only]    "First publication, St. Matthew’s Gospel, chapters 1 & 2, in 1825 at Aboa, by Typis Christ.
