Ancient Germanic loanwords in Saami

[Lemminkäinen]

The thread where I posted about the linguistic connections between ancient Germanic languages, Saami and Finnish is now closed for some reason. Maybe the OP saw the discussion as too aggressive, but there is no way to discuss about the Finnish history without aggression. So should we be quetly and let those with agendas to win. I can tolerate it. If my words give an image of aggression it is because the scientific outcome sounds aggressive in the common way of thinking (not because being it). And all those recent Finnish geneticists really are stupid people prefering their careers instead of helping people see our history.

Here is a summary of the forefront Finnish research and linguistic authors figuring ancient Germanic loanwords in Saami. Note that "Finnic" doesn't mean Finnish, but the whole language branch nearby the Baltic Sea (Baltic-Finnic), maybe also the Volga-Finnic branch . Also, some questions seem still to be blurry, like how the proto-Finnic geographically emerged into the large already populated area.



The picture figures how linguists see the geography of Saami-Germanic connections around 2500 years ago. The time comes from the dating of the Saami arrival to Finland. We have a strong evidence about the presence of Germanic speakers in Finland from the early Iron Age to the Viking Age. During the Viking age relations became hateful, not before.
