Lannankieli is one of the three variants of Meänkieli, including the Torneo valley variant and the Gällivare dialects.[1] Lannankieli is mutually integible with the two other variants of Meänkieli, however there exists some lexical differences.[2]
Details
Lannankieli is spoken around the towns of Jukkasjärvi, Kurravaara and Kiruna, and there have been efforts to support the variant of Meänkieli.[3][2][4] And there have been attempts to create Meänkieli literature specifically in the Lannankieli variant.[5] However, despite this, Lannankieli alongside Gällivare dialects are more vulnerable than the Torneo Valley variant of Meänkieli.[6]
