I love how the frisian languages recreate the division of the germanic branch, having a east, west and north version

[@TunahTak]

In fact a rich idiom and loved by all germanics countries, frisian is rich. The west branch os ingeovonic side. The east branch is istaveonic side. The north branch os the ermionic side. Seems, maybe in future the northem branch can give us the nordic side If frisian run to improve you linguistic to Denmark and Norway.

It's interesting that the Frisian dialects differentiated in part by contact with more culturally dominant languages, because the most important event in the development of English was the influence of the culturally dominant language of the Normans.

Hello History with Hillbert

[@MichielGlas]

Great pronunciation Andy! I'm impressed!

[@MSS47Ag]

As a Dutch person: North Frisian sounds closer to a Scandinavian language. West Frisian: extremely familiar, but still very foreign (as someone from the West/Randstad) East Frisian: sounds like someone from Eastern Europe trying to speak German, but failing at it.

[@Yyr85]

east frisian sounds for me the closest to english.

[@BanjoBillyBob]

same its weird@@Yyr85

[@RubenHogenhout]

For me ( also Dutch) the north Frisian sounth a bit like Swedisch. The West Frisian I know of course because they live in the Netherlands but still almost not to understand. The East Frisian to me is a bit like Saxon they also speak in Twente the east of the Netherlands but different and harder to understand.

[@jannathepanna1674]

as a young person who speaks west frisian as a native language with my family and grew up speaking the language even here in Friesland(west-frisian province) we have a lot of different dialects almost every town has a name for its accent and even here i notice the differences. Nothing west-frisian is incorrect but i guess we modernise it with lots of words. For the word where did he 'go' it said in west frisian as 'gien' but we pronounce it as 'gong' and sometimes the eastern-frisian language sounds even more close not necessarily accent wise but just the words and how they are written

[@Walderdbeere14]

Great video! 1:04 The yellow markings are a bit odd. There are some Islands marked, that aren't even inhabited. :D Like Süderoog-Sand (most bottom yellow island)

[@AereForst]

West Frisian is phonemically most similar to modern Dutch to my ears

[@Davlavi]

Nice list.

[@Dhi_Bee]

Hey, Andy! Are you native to one of those Germanic-speaking countries? Your pronunciation sounds like you are. I always assumed you were Southeast Asian from your slight accent in English. ❤ your videos. And sorry if it sounds nosy, I’m just curious

[@ilovelanguages0124]

I am from the Philippines. Our second official language is English if you count that as a Germanic-speaking country. 😆

[@Dhi_Bee]

@@ilovelanguages0124 Thanks for replying. I knew you were SE Asian.🤣Of course I know English is spoken in the Philippines but you sounded so good in the OTHER non-English Germanic languages I was thinking you were from the Netherlands or Germany, haha. ☮️ &❤️

[@gytan2221]

I’m thrilled that you can pronounce Dutch place names like a Dutch!

[@ILOVEDAVIDCAVAZIS]

I’ve read some comments that claim that some accents and dialects in the UK resemble West Frisian and Old English

[@maraluciaduclosduclos7496]

Wonderful languages.

[@epokman]

Yes

[@oorzuis1419]

I thought (may be erroneous) that West Fries also used to implicate northern parts of North Holland and the old islands in the Zuider Zee (Marke/Monickedam) but I would go wrong here if you put the emesis on the language spoken now. I remember in the eighties waking up in Marke at a girlfriend's place by her mother not understanding half what she said only the word coffee.

[@chameleonedm]

As an Englishman I find it interesting that I can vocalize Frisian noticeably easier than German or any Scandinavian languages. There are some sounds in Frisian that I don't recognize, but seemingly find simple enough to pronounce if I give it a go. I'm sure it's not perfect, but trying to do the same in any other language seems to have dramatically worse results

[@Sydebern]

Contrary to your image of us west-Frisians, we do not have red eyes. I do have grey hair though.

[@oudkarspelsixtynine1994]

I am a bit puzzled. As West Frisian is a dialect, spoken in a region in Noord Holland. Where I live. It is supposed to be related to Frisian.

[@alyaly2355]

Andy, will you ever put your Gallo and Champenois videos on KZbin?

[@YuutaShinjou113]

North Frisian feels more like English

[@YuutaShinjou113]

@@Nwk843 this is more of a phonology (sounds) thing than a lexicon (words) thing

[@resphantom]

I'm surprised how close North Frisan sounds like Afrikaans. Lots of works I can make out like "apskalig" which I've heard some of the older people using this word as a kid. Meaning something pretty bad. Edit: After listening more for a while. I feel like if you combine North Frisan with West Frisan, you get something close to Afrikaans. Grammer wise North is the closest to Afrikaans grammer, even the emphasis on some words sound similar. Word wise West Frisan is closer, but I believe it's because it's very close to Dutch.

[@fukpoeslaw3613]

That's a pretty loose translation, one can't really compare the different kind of Frisians. I can understand the north and east Frisian because they look a bit like Dutch (east Frisian/saterfrisian?) (my daily language) and German (north Frisian)

[@simonecappiello3937]

Interesting, they are similar to Dutch. And the male Figures are very cute.

[@akoska]

Goed!🤣🤣🤣

[@jacquelinevanderkooij4301]

As a westlauwers frisian, I understand the northern dialect better. The eastern dialect already has quite a bit german sakson in it.

[@MichaelDamianPHD]

Damn even frisian is split up?

[@vladimirsuznjevic5342]

Andy, what’s your mother tongue?

[@ilovelanguages0124]

Filipino. :D

[@vladimirsuznjevic5342]

Tagalog?

@@vladimirsuznjevic5342 Tagalog and Filipino are classified as different languages, but Filipino is basically the national standardized form of Tagalog.

[@matthewnggametime2537]

frisian is not even related to english 😮😮😮

[@Weda01]

They are related as both are Germanic languages, although Frisian is a lot closer to Old English rather than modern (far more latinised) English.

[@terranceaddison4599]

Look at the Germanic chart....their branch is close to English

[@seanwingfield977]

I grew up speaking the Dutch of the Netherlands and Belgium The West Frisian is also called Fris in NL I understood almost all of it. It is closer to Dutch then German

[@12tanuha21]

Because High German became the standardized German and Frisian is a sister language of Low German.

[@schneeweichenmunster8416]

@@12tanuha21 WTF

[@kvonribbenburg]

"Westlauwers Fries" is more accurate, because there's also a dialect in North-Holland called "West-Fries").
