Proper noun

Usage notes

 * There seems to be no final agreement on what the language should be called in English: in addition to, the forms , , , , and are encountered.
 * The ISO 639-3 standard uses Tornedalen Finnish and Finnish, Tornedalen.
 * The speakers of Meänkieli themselves would not want to accept anything with Finnish or -finska in it, because they consider their language distinct from Finnish, even if the languages are largely mutually intelligible.
 * North Finnish is misleading, because it is also used to refer to all northern variants of Finnish as a group.
 * Tornedalen is not ideal either because it is the Swedish name for the river valley, and geographical names are not normally used directly as names of languages in English.
