The classification of and data for regional dialects is based on pre-1950s data. Since the 1950s, the dialects have become increasingly mixed, levelled and influenced by Standard Finnish. Besides Standard Finnish, a relatively uniform and originally urban 'colloquial Finnish' is beginning to emerge in their place, especially in the cities.

Each spot on the map is a parish, with some minor exceptions; see Appendix:Finnish dialects. For a map showing dialect areas rather than groups, see Template:fi-dial-map.

Sources: Data of parishes and their areas is based on data from Suomen murteiden sanakirja © Kotimaisten kielten keskus, under the CC BY 4.0 license. Location data is partially extracted from OpenStreetMap © OpenStreetMap contributors, under the Open Database license. See the information for the background image for its sources and licensing.
