I think you have also all the Asian languages and Arabic. But I can't help you further, for I speak none of them. You should go and ask in these forums.
Lappish is rural source of Finnish (known as suomi in their own language), they are the same language, we tell them because Lappish is a vulgar name, and Finnish is a national name, if we say Lappish or Lap down to the face of a Fin, s/he may be angry, it's insulting!
Am I right, Jonne? Or I got mixed?
LAp--Lappish
Sami--Suomi
Fin---Finnish?
but I thought Finnish is the national state of Lappish, or Suomi?
