One of the new phenomena in the contemporary world is the ongoing emancipation of ethnic groups. This is taking place at various levels both local (regional) and national. The paper presents some examples of such phenomena taken from the area of the Uralic languages of northern Europe. Two come from Lappland: the Kvens and the Finns speaking the Meankieli ethnolect. Two are from the Russian Federation: the Izhma Komi (Isvatas’) and the Pomors, The last two come from Estonia: the Setu and the speakers of the south Estonian Voro language. The Pomors, who are generally regarded to be a Slavic group, have been included because of their acknowledging their mixed Slavic-Uralic origin. The ethnogenesis and contemporary situations of each group are in each case very complex and different. These differences are chiefly due to the political and social situations differing in each Scandinavian country and in Estonia, all of them being different from the same in the Russian Federation.
