Grammar
Consonant gradation Unlike its southern neighbor Southern Sami, Ume Sámi has consonant gradation. However, gradation is more limited than it is in the more northern Sami languages, because it occurs only after long vowels or diphthongs. Consonants following a short vowel do not participate in gradation. Southern Saami is divided into two main dialects: Southern Saami sensu stricto and Ume Saami. ...
Consonant gradation is a type of consonant mutation, in which consonants alternate between various grades. It is found in some Finno-Lappic languages such as Finnish, Estonian and Sámi; moreover, the Votic language is known for its extensive set of gradation patterns. ...
