I do agree with Michael ... I use "Sami" only myself, and the Sami speaker that we have in our office uses "Sami". And most English language dictionaries use "Sami". And "aa" doesn't really make anything any better in English. But, if someone thinks that we need to seek more expert advice, I shall still be happy to do a small survey.

This is definitely NOT an issue for the JAC to >discuss without further expert input. Experts and institutions in Finland, Sweden, and Norway change their minds all the time. Indeed, I have argued with them about it on numerous occasions. In ENGLISH, we have an accepted orthographic tradition -- Sami. Please stick to it. Oxford usage is recommended by ISO, and as Sami appears in the Concise Oxford that should be good enough for all. -- Michael Everson *** Everson Typography *** http://www.evertype.com
