| | Frisian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Frisian is a Germanic language, or group of closely related languages, spoken by around half a million members of an ethnic group living on the southern fringes of the North Sea in the Netherlands and Germany. | | | While many of these Frisians live on the mainland, most are found on the islands, notably Sylt, Föhr, Amrum, and Heligoland. | | | This was in part due to the occupation of its stronghold, the Dutch province of Friesland (Fryslân), in 1498, by Duke Albert of Saxony, who replaced Frisian as the language of government with Dutch. |

| | Since 1950, Christian Albrecht University in Kiel has had a North Frisian dictionary centre, which as from 1978 could offer Frisian Philology as a subject, thereby becoming the only university in Germany with a place of scientific research in Frisian. | | | A working group at the North Frisian Institute is working on a Frisian hymn book. | | | From 1993 to 1996, research experiments have been carried out in kindergartens in Söleraanj / Süderende on the island of Feer / Föhr and in Risem-Lonham / Risum-Lindholm to find out whether the Frisian language can enjoy a revival as early as in the age of kindergarten children. |
