THE PEOPLE OF FINDLAND

*Finns are traditionally divided into smaller regional groups that span several countries adjacent to
Finland, both those who are native to these countries as well as those who have resettled.

* Finnish, the language spoken by most Finns, is closely related to other Balto-Finnic languages, for
example,
-Estonian and Karelian.

* Native Finns can also be divided according to dialect into subgroups sometimes called heimo (lit.
tribe), although such divisions have become less important due to internal migration.

*Today, there are approximately 6–7 million ethnic Finns and their descendants worldwide, with majority
of them living in their native Finland and the surrounding countries.
