New Disney comics in Sámi language

New comics in Sámi language


In Norway a Disney comic book was just published in three different Sámi languages. We got Vulle Vuojaš in Northern Sámi, Tjalle Tjååtsele in Southern Sámi and Vuolli Vuojatjis Vegajnis in Lule Sámi.



This is the first time we have Disney comics in Southern and Lule Sámi while there was a short living series with Northern Sámi comics in the late 80's.

Here's an example from inside with Flintheart Glomgold's name in the different translations.

 


There's only one story inside, that you can also find in the regular weekly series.

Doing some quick searching online, it looks like a few digital Finnish comics exists with two more Sámi languages. In addition to Northern Sámi they also have a few pages with Skolt Sámi and Inari Sámi.
