Samer (äldre benämning även lappar, vilket ofta uppfattas som nedsättande) är en etnisk minoritet i Norge, Sverige och Finland och på Kolahalvön i Ryssland. Det område som samer bebor brukar benämnas Sápmi (ibland Sameland). Samerna i Sverige har sedan 1993 en egen statlig institution med folkvalda (se Sametinget). ILO har förklarat samer som ursprungsbefolkning.

The Finno-Ugric languages form a subfamily of the Uralic languages. The majority of linguists believe that Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian, among other languages, should be included in the group. Unlike most of the other languages spoken in Europe, the Finno-Ugric languages are not part of the Indo-European family of languages. The Uralic languages also include the Samoyedic languages, and some linguists use the terms Finno-Ugric and Uralic as synonyms. Many of the smaller Finno-Ugric languages are endangered and near extinction. The term Finno-Ugric peoples is used to describe peoples speaking a Finno-Ugric language.
