Afteryule, Soilmonth, Wreathmonth (?), Eastermonth, Milkmonth, Erelithe, Afterlithe, Weedmonth, Holymonth, Winterful, Bloodmonth and Ereyule. Latin months are nice, but sometimes I just wish we could bring back the unique English names for some things. I've noticed that most languages throughout Europe had a unique set of month names that have been slowly overwritten by the Latin set.

[@oz_jones]

We never Latinized our months here in Finland. For example, November is literally the month of death.

[@Me-yq1fl]

It would be sunmonth, not soilmonth, as Solmonath means sun-month.

[@joshuasims5421]

@@Me-yq1fl Sol would be 'sun' in Latin, not Old English. I'm following the video (see 7:01) that solmonaþ means mud-month, which I've interpreted as soilmonth (see 3:13) to use a recognizable form. I'm much less confident in Wreathmonth, which is certainly not the right meaning, but since the Hrēþ in the original is the name of a god, I wasn't sure of a better modern form to use. Looking now, I see that Rheda and Rhedmonth are possible renditions, based on a latinzation by Bede. I might opt for Reedmonth or even Redmonth, as I was going for modernized forms. I had the same problem with līþa, 'summer', which I rendered '-lithe'. However, it may be better justified to use 'summer', for something like 'eresummer' and 'aftsummer'; or, further reduce the endings as Erely and Afterly.

[@TroyDowVanZandt]

I came across a kind of census done in 1618 in the Jeverland when an older form of Frisian was still very much the language of the area. The names were super cool-things like Oike Haien. My ancestor Harmen Gerrits was noted as having “land in hay” outside of Sengwarden. The phrase obviously means under cultivation. I wonder if modern West Frisian maintains a similar phrase.

[@twipameyer1210]

Similar to the slavic calendar where the names don't even match across lenguages. So for example listopad (leaf fall) is November in some languages like Czech, Polish, Ukrain und Belarus, but October in others like Serbian, Bulgarian (and archaic Russian tho they switched to Latin based names) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_calendar

[@peterblinn7946]

If I can be forgiven for any spelling mistakes, I have some some alternatives to standard Frisian on some of these. For W⁠est Schiermonnikoog Frisian, August is typically called euchstmond (“Everyone’s month”) and December is frettersmond (“Ferrets month”). This dialect is said to be seriously endangered, according to my sources, with fewer than 100 speakers. As a full set, the most divergent from the standard appears to be a North Frisian called Mooring or Bökingharde, spoken in the Schleswig-Holstein region of Germany. Note especially January, February, October and November: 01: ismoune “Ice month” 02: biikenmoune “Beacon month” 03: uursmoune “Spring month” 04: gjarsmoune “Grass month” 05: krülemoune “Flower month” 06: samermoune “summer month” 07: foodermoune “fodder month” 08: beeridmoune “Harvest month” 09: härfstmoune “Autumn month” 10: stormmoune “Storm month” 11: mistmoune “Mist month” 12: jülmoune “Yule month”

[@JarkkoHietaniemi]

Completely unrelated to Frisian as such, but also Finnish does months based on nature/agriculture: - tammikuu - center month (in modern Finnish 'tammi' means the oak tree, but originally it meant 'heart' as in 'heart of something', center) - helmikuu - ice pearl month (modern 'helmi' is usually the mollusk one, but earlier it was any round white shiny) - maaliskuu - ground/soil month ('maa' means soil/ground/earth) - huhtikuu - swidden month (when the trees were felled for slash-and-burn agriculture to dry before burning) - kesäkuu - summer month - heinäkuu - hay month - elokuu - harvest month - syyskuu - autumn month - lokakuu - mud month - marraskuu - dead month - joulukuu - yule month

[@weetikissa]

Another Finnish speaker here coming to point out the surprising number of matches between the meanings. Funny that Frisian has month names more similar to Finnish than the Estonians.

[@JohnFallot]

Coincidentally, as a project a few years ago, I attempted to reconstruct Proto Indo-European month names based on patterns I spotted across various northern hemisphere calendars, and these Frisian month names certainly follow the trend. Note that I'm not an expert and so what I've found lacks replication or verification. The reconstructions are, starting from roughly January - assuming a 13 month calendar, 28-days each, with an intercalary day: 1. *Sekʷ-[w]édōr (cutting [of wood]) 2. *Bhlēh₃-ken-os (bursting forth [of new deer antlers, and possibly the earliest flowers] 3. *Dlengh-yōs (lengthening, from which we get the word Lent) 4. *H₂éws-tḗr (the dawn, from which we get the word 'Easter') 5. *Médʰ-u̯es-or (spring honey, either referring to bees, flower blossoms, or harvesting the mead that's been fermenting over the winter) 6. *Skand-yos (brightening, candenting; this is the most widely attested concept) 7. *Medʰyo-semh₂-os (midsummer) 8. *Upér-semh₂-os (high summer) 9. *Skerp-es-en-s (Harvest/reaping work) 10. *Upo-ghyem-o-s (out from under Winter) 11. *Hrewg-o-s (belching, rutting [of deer]) 12. *Sker-on-eh (gathering/huddling/bundling up [of people and/or cold earth) 13. *Prṓ-mregh-us (darkening [of days]) 14. *Kóh₂ilus (holy)

The 'official' UK year still began in March up to 1750 - just before we also adopted the Gregorian Calendar and gained 12 days. The stubborn revenue / IR / HMRC / treasury refusing to change hence the tax year still starts in early April after just the 12 day adjustment.

[@TheMrMe1]

Very interesting. Icelandic used to have a very similar set of month names, but they do not line up neatly with the gregorian months. Nowadays they are used to determine some traditional feast days, such as the First Day of Summer (is. Sumardagurinn fyrsti) and the Husbands' Day (is. Bóndadagurinn). They were: 1. Þorri 2. Góa 3. Einmánuður 4. Harpa 5. Skerpla 6. Sólmánuður 7. Heyannir 8. Tvímánuður 9. Haustmánuður 10. Gormánuður 11. Ýlir 12. Mörsugur

[@naomifloralpunk6857]

Iceland still partially use some of its old month names for certain festivities. Norway also partially had some of the names survive into the 20th century, though not with a full calender (torri and gjøa, and as mentioned jul/jol). Though Old Norse month names were mostly very different from the Old English and Old Frisian month names.

Karschnatz (rye harvest); 9. Hierschtmount (harvest/autumn month); 10. Wäimount (wine month); 11. Wantermount/Reismount (winter month/fog fall month); 12. Chrëschtmount (Christmas month)

Albanians have kept a few names of months like Shkurt (means 'short', refers to February), Qershor (means 'cherry', refers to June), and Korrik (means 'harvest', refers to July). Otherwise, it's all Latin names. Oh yeah, and the 'ber' months are translated into Albanian in a unique way, so Tetor (eight hour, October), Nëntor (nine hour, November), Dhjetor (ten hour, December), which to me never made sense as a kid-like 'hour', that's for the clock. But I think it's using the meaning of 'hour' that means a part of, like a fraction of a day; in this case, a fraction of a year, which is a month. The Albanian word for month is 'muaj'.

Isle of Tenerife, Spain, Africa. Another excellent video, thank you. One question, though: Why, in English, when speaking we generally pronounce it Friesian (as I've always known it spelt, rhyming as it does with "cohesion", its first vowel the same as in "shield/field"), but here you always spell it without the E (as if it rhymed with "precision", even though it doesn't, or at least not yet). Is this some sort of recent political correctness, no longer wanting to spell it with its traditional E in English because the spelling of the Friesian language version of the word doesn't have an E? Best wishes, Patrick.

Ik leerde vroeger de Nederlands namen voor de maanden. Louwmaand, sprokkelmaand, lentemaand, grasmaand, bloeimaand, zomermaand, hooimaand,oogstmaand, herfstmaand, wijnmaand, slachtmaand en wintermaand. Niet zo verschillend van het Fries en net zo min nauwelijks nog gebruikt in de dagelijkse taal. Je video vond ik interessant maar is dus niet juist wanneer je zegt dat het Fries alleen een andere kalender had. De kalender is niet wezenlijk anders maar de oud namen zijn anders, en net las in het Nederlands dus. Verder kenden de Romeinen ook 12 maanden, maar omdat het Nieuwe jaar op 25 maart begon werd maart geteld als eerste maand, vandaar dat de tiende maand de naam October heeft, de 8ste maand! Februari was de laatste maand van het jaar waarin de correctie aan het einde van dat jaar plaatsvond, (een aantal extra dagen) Vandaar dat wij niet in decmeber maar in Februari een schrikkeldag hebben. Juli en Augustus hebben beide 31 dagen gekregen om aan te geven dat Augustus als keizer even belangrijk was als Julius. Het meest waarschijnlijke is dat April naar Afrodite is genoemd omdat Maart naar Mars is genoemd; Maar waarom ze dan de Griekse naam hebben gebruikt ipv Venus dat zal altijd wel een raadsel blijven.

[@nissevelli]

What is really interesting to me when watching these videos is to see the unexpected commonalities between Frisian and Finnish. Here are some Finnish months that are similar to Frisian months: English: February / Frisian: Sellemoanne / Finnish: Lokakuu (October, "Mud month") English: May / Frisian: Blommemoanne / Finnish: Toukakuu (Literally "Seeding/planting month") English: June / Frisian: Simmermoanne / Finnish: Kesäkuu (Literally "Summer month") English: July / Frisian: Heamoanne / Finnish: Heinäkuu (Literally "Hay Month") English: August / Frisian: Rispmoanne / Finnish: Elokuu (Literally "Crop month") English: September / Frisian: Hjerstmoanne / Finnish: Syyskuu (Literally "Fall Month") English: November / Frisian: Slachtmoanne / Finnish: Marraskuu (Literally "Dead/death month") English: December / Frisian: Joelmoanne / Finnish: Joulukuu (Literally "Christmas Month") Finnish is an infamously conservative language- many of the Germanic loanwords are very old and close to their original forms. It seems to me that Frisian must also be a relatively conservative language, since with a little bit of digging it is quite easy to find similarities. For example; the word "onion" in Finnish is "sipuli". In West Frisian, it is "sipel". The word for cabbage is "kaali" in Finnish and "koal" in Frisian.
