Gooeie! (or should is that the wrong greeting?) Anyways thank you for uploading and making a website for Frisian! I was a big fan of history and when I wanted to learn a language I wonder which to pick. I remembered that there was a language close to English! and have and still am trying to learn west Frisian and its history. Your website was a big help as sadly there are little resources for finding about the language. But with the help of your website and a few books I am starting to learn a lot! I was surprised when I searched for videos on Frisian and saw one of yours. Anyways as I was trying to state tige tank!

The Zwartbles is a breed of domestic sheep originating in the Friesland region of the north Netherlands. There it was primarily used for the production of sheep milk as well as lamb and mutton. They were often kept alongside dairy cattle herds. Breed characteristics The Zwartbles has a striking appearance: a black/brown fleece, a white blaze on the face, 2 - 4 white socks, and a white tail tip (which is traditionally left undocked). Both rams and ewes are polled. The Zwartbles are relatively large sheep: ewes weigh an average of 85 kg (187 lb), and rams 100 kg (220 lb). The dense fleece ranges from black to brown with sun bleached tips, some silvering may be present in older animals. The wool is medium to fine with excellent crimp and fibre length, a Bradford count of 54-56 and a micron count of 27 making it popular for spinning and felting. Zwartbles are known for being docile, friendly, easy lambing, prolific, milky and being excellent mothers. Also they are good in showing. History Traditionally used for both milk and meat in the Netherlands, they declined significantly in use until listed as critically rare by the Dutch Rare Breed Survival trust in the mid-1970s. The first Zwartbles were imported to the United Kingdom in the early 1990s. The UK Zwartbles Sheep Association was formed in 1995. I AM UK FLOCK 100

@@larslarsman NO its much moor interesting than that Doggerland was an area of land in Northern Europe, now submerged beneath the North Sea, that connected Britain to continental Europe. It was repeatedly exposed at various times during the Pleistocene epoch due to the lowering of sea levels during glacial periods. It was last flooded by rising sea levels around 6500-6200 BCE. The flooded land is known as the Dogger Littoral.[1] Geological surveys have suggested that it stretched from what is now the east coast of Great Britain to what is now the Netherlands, the western coast of Germany and the Danish peninsula of Jutland.[2] It was probably a rich habitat with human habitation in the Mesolithic period,[3] although rising sea levels gradually reduced it to low-lying islands before its final submergence, possibly following a tsunami caused by the Storegga Slide.[4] Doggerland was named after the Dogger Bank, which in turn was named after 17th-century Dutch fishing boats called doggers.[5] The archaeological potential of the area was first identified in the early 20th century, and interest intensified in 1931 when a fishing trawler operating east of the Wash dragged up a barbed antler point that was subsequently dated to a time when the area was tundra. Vessels have since dragged up remains of mammoths, lions and other animals, and a few prehistoric tools and weapons.[6] As of 2020 international teams are continuing a two-year investigation into the submerged landscape of Doggerland using new and traditional archaeo-geophysical techniques, computer simulation, and molecular biology. Evidence gathered allows study of past environments, ecological change, and human transition from hunter-gatherer to farming communities

From excavations all over the world, we can find Frisian earthenware and jewellery weapons long before the Scandinavian Vikings existed. Frisians are the ancestors of the English and the Scandinavians. Their language alone shows that they are daughters of the Frisian language. But DNA also tells the story of the past. The behaviour of the Frisians, the trade and the warring and discovery of new territories has been taken over by the Scandinavians. But the Frisians had been doing this for centuries before.

They were not vikings, but frisians. Their ship had different look. And they was A trading partner with vikings. There is not much mystery about them. They were a trading hub. They never visit the North with their ships. Cos their never needed. Nor was they buildt for it. North had to go there. Their frisians ship was for the british canal and rivers. Cargo vessels. Norsemen would ususally never go further then frisians until Charlemagne made trouble to trade. Many frisians took work on Viking raids. Both unvolenteer and volenteer. But to call them "vikings" is not accurate. In the end vikings raided them so much that their many city dorestad vannished..

the place were germania becomes slovacia all European language have a split at this location - for better or worst (ww2) -- -> Wismar (German pronunciation: [ˈvɪsmaʁ]; Low German: Wismer), officially the Hanseatic City of Wismar (Hansestadt Wismar) is, with around 43,000 inhabitants, the sixth-largest city of the northeastern German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and the fourth-largest city of Mecklenburg after Rostock, Schwerin and Neubrandenburg. The city was the third-largest port city in former East Germany after Rostock and Stralsund. Wismar is located on the Bay of Wismar of the Baltic Sea, directly opposite the island of Poel, that separates the Bay of Wismar from the larger Bay of Mecklenburg. The city lies in the middle between the two larger port cities of Lübeck in the west, and Rostock in the east, and the state capital of Schwerin is located south of the city on Lake Schwerin. Wismar lies in the northeastern corner of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region, and is the capital of the district of Northwestern Mecklenburg. The city's natural harbour is protected by a promontory. The uninhabited island of Walfisch, lying between Wismar and the island of Poel, administratively belongs to the borough of Wismar-Wendorf. It is estimated that Wismar was founded in 1226 under Henry Borwin I, Lord of Mecklenburg from the House of Mecklenburg, a German dynasty of Slavic origin also known as the Obotrites or Niklotides. In 1259, the city became part of the Hanseatic League. Throughout its history, the city has been under control of various German states as well as the Swedish Empire. It was part of Sweden from 1648 until 1803 (de jure until 1903, when Sweden officially renounced its claims to the city), and this Swedish chapter of the city is celebrated annually with a large "Sweden Celebration". From 1815 until 1918, Wismar lay in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and later in the Free State of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Wismar is a typical representative of the Hanseatic League with its city-wide Brick Gothic structures and iconic gabled patrician houses and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List alongside the historical old town of Stralsund in 2002.[3] Wismar is the seat of Hochschule Wismar, a university of applied sciences, one of nine institutions of higher education in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With MV Werften Wismar, the city is one of three cruise ship-producing locations of MV Werften (along with Rostock and Stralsund), and the shipyard with its tall white-blue hall is one of the city's largest employers. St. George's, St. Nicholas' and St. Mary's, of which only the tower is left standing, are the three iconic sacred buildings dominating the skyline of Wismar. History Wismar in the 16th century The name of the settlement was first recorded in the 12th century as Visemer, Wismar (1147, 1167), Wyssemaria (1229)[1][4] and is probably of Slavic origin although finally disputed. Wismar could have the same os. origin like the german city Weimar[5] Wismar was part of the Western Slavic Obotrites' territory. The exact date of the city's foundation is not clear. In the oldest existing document of Wismar of 1229 its civic rights are already established. In 1301 Wismar came under the rule of the House of Mecklenburg.[6] In 1259 Wismar joined a defensive agreement with Lübeck and Rostock, in order to effectively counter the numerous Baltic pirates. Subsequently more cities of the northern Holy Roman Empire would agree to cooperate as commerce and trade was increasingly coordinated and regulated. These policies would provide the basis for the development of the Hanseatic League. By the 13th and 14th centuries Wismar had grown into a flourishing Hanseatic trading hub and an important center of wool processing. Although around 2,000 of its inhabitants perished during the plague of 1376, the town remained reasonably prosperous until the 16th century.[7][8]

yess !!!! Venedi translates to= left of me --- first used for germanic tribes in ref to slarv tribes - but later used by german main land to refer to Danes and Frisians and Netherlands people Tacitus:- do not know whether to class the tribes of the Peucini, """"Venedi"""", and Fenni with the Germans or with the Sarmatians. The Peucini, however, who are sometimes called Bastarnae, are like Germans in their language, manner of life, and mode of settlement and habitation. Squalor is universal among them and their nobles are indolent. Mixed marriages are giving them something of the repulsive appearance of the Sarmatians. The Venedi have adopted many Sarmatian habits; for their plundering forays take them over all the wooded and mountainous highlands that lie between the Peucini and the Fenni. Nevertheless, they are on the whole to be classed as Germans; for they have settled homes, carry shields, and are fond of travelling - and travelling fast- on I foot, differing in all these respects from the Sarmatians, who live in wagons or on horseback. We see that Tacitus sees the formal "Germanic" characteristics: for they have settled homes, carry shields, and are fond of travelling. Can we call any European people, who are settled homes, carry shields, and are fond of traveling, Germans? Not. But the ancient Romans were not so scrupulous. Therefore, the word "Germans" could be called different tribes.

The Frysians were no vikings. In fact, they fought against the vikings around 800-900 AD. The first Frysians (Frisii) date back to about 400 BCE, long before the viking were even a thing. the Romans called them Frisii. If you look up old maps of the expansion of the vikings, you can see they took footholds in France, Britain, Scotland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Italy and even Africa (and ofcourse their homelands Denmark, Sweden & Norway), but not Magna Frisia, where the Frisii lived.

At least argue the claim beyond repeating general vikinghistory. Frisians are real, and they were invaded by real Vikings, but sorry Mac, they were not Vikings. They were not superior ocean navigators compared to the west scandinavians. They (probably) never reached beyond the short trip to the british Isles. They were inferior warriors compared to most of the scandinavians. They may have raided, but never invaded anything on their own, more than as part of another force

Frisian were not Vikings!! Who wrote this script? Frisians actually fought the Vikings! I mean, this is exactly the big deal behind their success. It's like saying "the Chinese Samurai" because they all have Asian aspect. What you're doing is stripping a whole people from its identity, and relegate it to a different entity, in order to give it some aspect of romanticism or "glory" due the the Vikings fame in modern days. First of all, for a long time North Frisia constituted the southmost line of Germanic tribes expansion south of Scandinavia, so we're talking about before Vikings existed as such (who did exist were Jutes, and people tend to mix all of these peoples one with the other). Centuries afterwards, the best part of the 9th Century was covered by campaigns between Frisian and Vikings, following the attacks of Vikings on East Frisia (up to the river mouth of the Waal (Dutch Rhine). There is a whole period of time with confrontations between both around Magna Frisia (which means most of the Frisian land, excluding North Frisia), so how can both be the same? Already at the beginning of this period, the Frisians received from Charlemagne permission to leave aside all their duties obligations in order to concentrate of defeating the Vikings (Frisia Magna was under the Carolingian dynasty at the time). And then, in the Battle of Norditi (884) they expelled the Vikings from Frisia FOREVER (first regional power in achieving this). And prior to this they received from Charles the Bald the recognition of a free region (Frisian Freedom). So let's leave fantasy land and not teach our children those fairly tail stories, especially in a channel which is supposed to concentrate on this theme. Frisians have a history to be proud of, they don't need the history of others for that. By the way, North Frisians (where I have some family from) have even a different history, setting them apart from other Frisians. They also have their own epic achievements. In 1252 they succeeded to gather up an army made of islanders and people from the Mainland and defeated the Danes (actually, the Danish king fell in this battle). Didn't help them for a long time though, because the floods and tidal surges pushed them out of the region for some time (this is when the North Frisian islands, and some f the East Frisian islands, were created).

Venedi = Slav to be able to speak // all else people unable to speak are dumb “strana”,stranger , dumb is THEM = Them being Germanic language users -Russian and Ukrainian use the ino- prefix for “foreign” and Russians add “straněc” from “strana”, a country, to say that it is a person from another country. So Russians has inostraněc. No other language has a true cognate to this word. -Ukrainian is closest but replaces the Russian -straněc by -zěměcj, from another word for a land, so it is inozěměcj. Polish also uses the same combination but both parts are replaced by materially different word. Ino- becomes cudzo- and -straněc becomes ziemiec, much like in Ukrainian, from another noun for a land. So it is cudzoziemiec in Polish. -Czech and Slovak simplify the Polish things a bit and only keep the cudzo- part with a simple suffix, so it is cizinec in Czech and cudzinec in Slovak. Bulgarian has a surprisingly similar word to the Slovak one, cužděněc (a similar word also exists in Ukrainian as a secondary one), but its de facto dialect, Macedonian, uses a word similar to the Serbo-Croatian one, straněc. -Meanwhile, the word is tujec in Slovenian and (as I indicated) stranac in Serbo-Croatian. -So the Russian word has no precise enough copy in other Slavic languages which may make Russian special or less Slavic but the truth is that this can be said about most Slavic languages, too. This word isn’t quite ancient and the Slavic languages did somewhat different things to describe a foreigner. The Russian word would be comprehensible to most Slavs even though ino- may sound as a simple “different, another” to other Slavs. Also, “strana” is identified as a country by many Slavs but those who are unfamiliar with Russian and a few other Slavic languages may think that “strana” is just the “side” or the (political) “party”. These subtle shifts in the meaning of words are common in Slavic langauges - Slavic languages are full of the so-called false friends. Some false friends are not subtle but radical shifts of the meaning (often the opposite meaning!) so be careful. note from ME [I find the Slovenian “tujec” to be the least pan-Slavic word among all the translations prolly ugrofinik or terkic???]
