  • The West Frisian language is spoken by some 450,000 mainly in the province of Fryslân in the Netherlands. It is closely related to English, and a common idea is that the main differences between English and Frisian come form the influence of French on the former following the Norman Conquest of 1066. While there is some truth in this, Frisian also has rather a lot of loanwords from French, though many of them are well disguised as Frisian words despite their romance origin.
