Lappic is a term that refers to the culture and language of the Sami people, an indigenous group living in northern Scandinavia, Finland, and Russia. However, the term Lappic is considered outdated and offensive by some Sami people because it was historically used by outsiders to describe them. Instead, they prefer to use terms such as Sami, Saami, or Sámi. These terms are more accurate and respectful and are widely used in official documents and academic literature. Other synonyms for Lappic include Lapish, Lapponian, and Laplander, but these are also not preferred by the Sami people as they are considered inaccurate and reflect a colonial perspective.
