Abstract

Abstract Karelian is a small Finnic language, the closest cognate of Finnish, spoken in Finland and Russia. At present an autochthonous, nonregional minority language in Finland, its numbers have been rapidly decreasing since World War II, making it severely endangered. Countermeasures have been taken by the Karelian community, and from the 2010s, Finland has directed some public funds for the revitalization of Karelian. This article describes the present situation of Karelian in Finland, its revitalization, and the experiences and motivations of Karelians reclaiming the language.
