Although people often speak of β€œNorth Frisian” as a unit in contrast to East and West Frisian. Linguistically, North Frisian is more appropriately seen as two distinct lineages β€” Insular & Mainland. The dialect of Hel(i)goland falls in the Insular North Frisian group along ...

I am deeply enchanted with Heligoland, a small archipelago of 1200 people about 40 miles off the coast of Germany that was owned by Britain for much of the 19th century and looks like an archetypical island in the eye of an idealistic child

Seriously, though, when are we renaming the North Sea back to the Frisian Sea? It was all an op by North Macedonia. No more! Mare Frisicum is back. Cogs are back. Get used to it.

In 1855, Seumas MacCoinnich was wrongly imprisoned after being accused of stealing sheep near Timaru in New Zealand. He managed to escape captivity, the police report claiming "he feigned to speak only Gaelic". He was pardoned in 1856 and vanished.

Scottish Gaelic spoken in parts of New Zealand into the 20th Century? In fact the traces of Scottish and specifically GΓ idhlig can still be found throughout Aotearoa today. Topic of tonight's video!

Great to see so many people becoming Frysk-pilled and getting involved with their roots and their heritage languages, be that a variety of Frisian, or Low Saxon or anything else. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Frisian names are something else, and these are just the West Frisian ones.

The recent study into Frisian showed a clear rural-urban distinction with Dutch (and traditionally City Frisian dialects) favoured in the cities, and the Frisian language favoured in the countryside. Many Frisian-speakers still live in the cities, though, 30% in Ljouwert bgl.

This was actually a theory someone came up with to explain the language isolate of Basque... Needless to say it hasn't found many advocates among linguists.

Greatly enjoyed presenting on Vikings in Old Frisian manuscripts but doing online meant I had no idea if any of the jokes landed 🫣
