Frisian...
"Friesisch, as the Frisians call their language, is the tongue of
Friesland, a northern province of the Netherlands, and the
adjacent coastal islands in the North Sea.   The Frisians are a
people of Anglo-Saxon stock, and their language is closely
related to English.   Frisian proper is still spoken by about 250,000
Frisians.   (Almost half the population of Friesland is Dutch-
speaking.)

Frisian, a Germanic tongue, is spoken in three distinct dialects:
Western, or Frisian proper, Eastern, and Northern."
