Pronunciation edit

lapp (not comparable)
Usage notes edit
Some Uralic languages have two names, an exonym (external name, mostly of Russian origin) and an endonym (internal name, a self-denomination). These days normally the endonyms are preferred (similarly to Eskimo superseded by Inuit). In Hungarian, the terms are vogul superseded by manysi (“Mansi”), osztják, by hanti (“Khanty”), cseremisz, by mari (“Mari”), votják, by udmurt (“Udmurt”), zürjén, by komi (“Komi”), jurák, by nyenyec (“Nenets”), and lapp, by számi (“Sami”).
