 Saterland Frisian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The German government apparently thinks the preservation of Sater Frisian is a lost cause, and seems to be unwilling to invest much money or energy in it.
Saterland (Seelterlound in the local language), which is believed to have been colonised by Frisians from East Frisia in the eleventh century, was for a long time surrounded by impassable moors.
Sater Frisian is spoken by approximately 2,250 people, out of a total population of the Saterland area of some 10,000.

 MINELRES: Germany State Report on FCNM
The Saterland Frisians are descended from those Frisians who, between 1100 and 1400, moved from the North Sea coast that had been devastated by storm tides, to settle, more to the south, in the Saterland where Westphalians had already settled.
In Lower Saxony, there is, on the one hand, the large group of East Frisians who see themselves as a cultural ethnic group with a regional identity, including the Saterland Frisians (who are both a cultural and a language group), and on the other hand, a considerable number of German Sinti and Roma.
The population structure of the Saterland, as well as that of all regions of Germany, changed as a result of the general mobility in this century and the in-migration of refugees and expellees after the Second World War.

 Saterland
This did not mean that it also was in the diocese of Münster from a religious or parish subdivision standpoint.
It was not until 1921 when, under the leadership of German nation, this project became fully realized as the Hunte-Ems-Kanal which today is simply known as the Küstenkanal.
The Saterland was part of the archdeaconate of Merzen in the Diocese of Osnabrück until religious overlordship was given to Münster in 1803; the secular part went to the Dukes of Oldenburg.

 Saterland
Saterland (Saterland Frisian: Seelterlound) is a municipality in the German federal state of Lower Saxony.
Being relatively isolated, the inhabitants developed their own form of the Frisian language, Saterland Frisian, which survives to this day.
It was settled between the 10th and 13th centuries by Frisians from East Frisia.

 Euromosaic - Frisian in Germany
The East Frisian variety called "Seeltersk" in Frisian, "Saterfriesisch" in High German, "Soatersk" in Low German and "Saterlandic" in English, is spoken by about 2000 people or 17.7% of the population in the Saterland community of the Cloppenburg district in the Land of Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) in the German Federal Republic.
Most Saterlanders work outside of the Saterland since there are only two small factories and a few service trades in the area.
The center of ethnolinguistic activity is the local folk association ("Heimatverein") Saterland "Seelter Buund", which worked for and assured the recognition of SF as eligible for minority language status and for government support.

 Frisian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Germany, there are about 2,000 speakers of Frisian in the Saterland region of Lower Saxony, the Saterland's marshy fringe areas having long protected Frisian speech there from pressure by the surrounding Low German and High German languages.
Some linguists consider these three varieties, despite their mutual unintelligibility, to be dialects of one single Frisian language, while others consider them to be three separate languages, as do their speakers.
An increasing number of Dutch native speakers in the province of Friesland are able to speak the language.

In the Saterland, Saterland Frisian is taught not only by fully trained teachers but also by other persons if they are suitable and if there is a demand for such instruction.
The Frisian ethnic group expects Frisian instruction to be gradually extended so as to be continued, after primary education, at Realschulen and in the lower secondary grades of Gymnasien.
Such persons may be employed as part-time teachers by the Land and will be paid according to their respective teaching load.

I don’t believe we should be praised for what our poets and our scientists have done centuries ago, but has Persian really become so miscellaneous that supporting it is as odd as it is the sign of diversified language support?
Now apparently Farsi is the local name for Persian, the language of Ferdowsi’s Shah-Namé, Divan-e Hafez, and tens of other literary masterpieces, the language people actually use when they are referring to country names like Tajikistan and Pakistan.
