There are 53 municipalities of Finland in which Finnish is not the sole official language. At the local level, a municipality can officially use Finnish, Swedish, Sami languages, or some combination thereof. The Finnish language law provides for official bilingualism at the municipal level if two languages each represent at least 8% of the population, or at least 3,000 speakers. A previously bilingual municipality retains its status until the proportion falls below 6%, but a municipality can choose to retain bilingualism even if the percentage drops below 6. Of the 320 Finnish municipalities, 19 are monolingually Swedish. 30 municipalities are bilingually Finnish and Swedish; of these, 12 have a Swedish-speaking majority and 18 a Finnish-speaking one. Four municipalities have a Finnish-speaking majority and a Sami-speaking minority: Enontekiö, Inari (coat of arms pictured), Sodankylä, and Utsjoki. All four of these municipalities are located in Lapland. (Full list...)
