Abstract
Among the folklore texts collected by Jenny and Samuli Paulaharju in the 1920s and 1930s there are a few Sami texts from the area of Kittilä and Sodankylä. The texts are partly macaronic Finnish-Sami, only one or two might be considered authentic Sami.
However, due to their small extent it is questionable, whether it can be regarded as Kemi Sami, the language that has been believed to disappear at about 200 years ago.
