The words for cardinal directions in the Sami languages are rotated depending on the language, based on the terrain surrounding the areas in which each language was traditionally spoken (roughly following the northern coastline of Scandinavia and the Kola Peninsula); in more western Sami languages, the word means “north”, while on the eastern fringes it means “south”. === Pronunciation === (Kautokeino) IPA(key): /ˈnuo̯rːta/ === Noun === nuorta east ==== Inflection ==== ==== Derived terms ==== davvenuorta máttanuorta nuortadavvi nuortalulli ==== See also ==== compass points: [edit] ==== Further reading ==== Eino Koponen, Klaas Ruppel, Kirsti Aapala, editors (2002–2008), Álgu database: Etymological database of the Saami languages‎[1], Helsinki: Research Institute for the Languages of Finland
