in reply to Re^2: The Germanic language form
in thread The Germanic language form

Friesland is in the North of the Netherlands, not the East.

Ostfriesland (East-Friesland) and Nordfriesland (North-Friesland) are on the North Sea shores of Germany... that's East of Westfriesland... I hear the Dutch call it just "Friesland". So the Friesen are a nation split by the Dutch-German border.
