Enkell

Enkell is a term that originates from the Finnish language, where it refers to a small, often rural community or village. The term is derived from the Finnish word "enkeli," which means "angel," and it was historically used to describe small settlements that were often isolated and had a strong sense of community. Enkell communities typically have a population of fewer than 100 people and are often characterized by their close-knit nature, traditional way of life, and reliance on local resources for their livelihood.

In Finland, enkell communities are often found in remote areas of the country, such as the northern regions or the countryside. These communities have historically played an important role in the country's cultural heritage, as they have preserved many traditional customs, languages, and crafts. Today, enkell communities continue to face challenges such as depopulation and the loss of traditional skills, but they also have access to modern amenities and services, thanks to advances in technology and infrastructure.

Enkell communities are not unique to Finland, and similar small, rural settlements can be found in other countries around the world. However, the term "enkell" is specific to Finland and is used to describe the unique cultural and historical significance of these communities within the country.
