Jokkmokk

Place in Lapland, Sweden

Jokkmokk
Jokkmokk (Swedish: [ˈjɔ̌kːmɔk]; Lule Sami: Jåhkåmåhkke or Dálvvadis; Northern Sami: Johkamohkki; Finnish: Jokimukka; Meänkieli: Jokinmukka) is a locality and the seat of Jokkmokk Municipality in Norrbotten County, province of Lapland, Sweden, with 2,786 inhabitants in 2010. The Lule Sami name of the place (composed of the individual words jåhkå and måhkke) means "River's Curve," due to the meandering river that runs through it. As in other towns in Lapland, the Swedish language is dominant at an official level in Jokkmokk in modern times. The settlement is just north of the Arctic Circle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jokkmokk
