The page now has: This page covers the West Frisian language, spoken in the Netherlands. For other Frisian languages see Frisian language (disambiguation). It continues with a treatment of the super language, with only occasional reference to West-Frisian. Something is not quite right there. Aliter 17:50, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Is Frisian a Saxon dialect? It is grouped with English, which is Saxon. -- Vitzque ( talk) 19:13, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
We have: "Saterland and North Frisian[9] are officially recognised and protected as minority languages in Germany". I assume this is true. However, it might be worth noting that the Friesisch-Gesetz given as source doesn't name the languages other than as "die in Schleswig-Holstein gesprochenen friesischen Sprachformen". That also means it doesn't refer to Saterland Frisian, which is spoken in Lower Saxony. Mysha ( talk)
Having the sentence in Old Frisian and in Anglo-Saxon would be interesting, if someone could provide such a translation. Peter G Werner ( talk) 19:26, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
I've translated it using the same sentence structure as modern English as, grammatically, I'm not up to snuff for old English; I'm almost certain that this is incorrect (eg I am unsure of the gender for chin and lips), but I've tried my best. If anyone could go over it, that would be ggrreeeaat. There's no attestation for 'boy' though Wikia says it comes from 'boia', which, considering its Proto form makes sense, but it's unattested so I'm not using it. Cnihtcild could also be used, but this is a kenning for a (male) child.

There is a discussion about whether there is a linkage between Germanic, Frisian and English peoples and languages at Talk:English people#Germanic and Frisian links. It would be helpful if editors could hold fire on making edits related to this topic until a consensus has been reached. Thanks. Bermicourt ( talk) 13:30, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
