Usage notes

 * These subgroups were once historically very important, especially prior to the emergence of the Finnish nation as a concept. The five or six groups comprising the Finnish people today are conventionally 1.  (specifically southwest Finns from what is now ), 2., 3. , 4. , 5. , and possibly 6. . The term is sometimes translated as "tribe", but is better translated as "nation", although it should be emphasized that since the 19th century, these groups are considered subgroups of the single Finnish (as a broad term) people or nation . In the modern society, these subgroups hold mainly cultural and traditional value, and urbanites rarely associate with any of them.
