Finns

The terms Finns and Finnish people (Finnish: suomalaiset, Swedish: finnar) may refer in English to ethnic Finns, not including other ethnic groups in Finland, such as Finland Swedes and Russians in Finland. In contrast to this definition, the term Finns may also refer to all inhabitants of Finland, regardless of their ethnic affiliation, e.g. also Somalis in Finland. This article is about ethnic Finns. For other ethnic groups living in Finland, please refer to Demographics of Finland.

The group ethnic Finns includes smaller groups in several countries, some of which are native to these countries and some which have immigrated there. The groups that are native to their countries include the Baltic Finns of Finland and smaller native populations in neighboring countries include the Kvens in Norway, the Tornedalians of Sweden, and the Ingrian Finns of Russia. The groups that have immigrated to their respective countries include the Finnish-speaking population of Sweden and groups in the United States, Canada, Brazil and Australia.
