Frisian is just Dutch lol. We Dutch people fully understand, and almost everyone speaks like this in holland

Centuries from now they’ll be making a video like this except for how we speak English today

I'm learning Dutch and this was interesting to watch after so many years.😂

Basically German and English mixed haha

Parece realmente com o inglês!

Sounds like an irish german

I am norwegian and this is almost 90% of how will have asked the same question we will say . Eg vil kjøpe en brun ku -.-. som gir masse melk .... (Buy a brown cow that gives a lot of milk )

He probably still has the cow in His back yard

As a frisian, the two languages are nothing alike

As a linguist this is one of my favourite videos

Eddie Izzard before he decided to become Susan. Ive seen him live (not funny). I tend to agree with many of his observations, but i go to the theatre for laughs (when i see a comedian) not a lecture. I find it odd that he is exactly the same in or out of a dress. There is nothing feminine about him at all. So why bother?!

God bless the Anglo Saxons god bless the English people

Is this Larry the cable guy?

Can you believe this man thinks everyone should call him "she" and "her" these days - beard and all? I'm not doing that.

Wat zegt die gozer? 😂😂sorry

As an Icelander, this language felt like a mix of German and Old Norse. Interesting! "Brún kú" is literally the same in Icelandic. "Mikið" for much is also Icelandic.

Kann man verstehen ;-)

mooi dit

Well, how thoroughly shocked I am to see yet another English person who cannot think beyond their own language, even when it's on a plate for them

As an Afrikaans dutchie, the intro was funny

That guy could be Appalachian. Every morning in west virginia is an old retired granpa at the local corner store sitting at a table...a table they leave there just for them drinking his coffee. Same place he used to get coffee before work...been going there 50 years. he retired and still goes there for coffee every morning. He sounds just like this guy.

They managed to figure out the only mutually intelligible words in English and Frisian which are cheese and butter

sounds like a drunk scottish guy lol

Same, same, but different. 😂

I'm happy English has become what it is now. Sorry but that's literally one of the ugliest sound I have ever heard. 😂

I'm Australian and I could understand the old farmer. Frisan seems a lot like modern English.

godverdomme ene mooie taal godverdomme

Even similar to Swedish

For being old English it sounds remarkably like modern Norwegian. First sentance is "Eg vil kjøpe en brun ku som lager masse melk" in Norwegian or "I want to buy a brown cow that makes alot of milk" in English

I only speak english and i understood every word, is that really old english?

♥

Yea, yea, you wanna milk ‘er?

It’s like I can understand him but can’t at the same time idk weird

East Frisian is a dying language :(

Weird role for Tim Curry

That‘s 80% german and some english. Actually easy to understand for germans

As a german i have unterstood everyword

Butter, bread and green cheese is good English and good Fries Bûter, brea en griene tsiis is goed Ingelsk en goed Frysk

Video starts at 0:01 btw

This fella sounds like he had a few too many vbs down at the pub lol. Sounds like a shitfaced aussie.

I stumbled into this video while browsing. I live in the north of the Arctic circle in Sweden. Outside my window is a pasture with highland cattle.

Growing up in Appalachia I can perfectly understand them both. Some old timers around here talk similarly

Бруньку? Ирон Бруньку?

Broon Coo Ya YA YA YA I died

Every once and awhile RUclips decides everyone needs to see this video.

Eddie has boobs now.

Reminds me of Thai language and its dialects, Laos language and Tai-Kadai language family. Basically, central Thai is the equivalent of modern English. Thailand can be divided into mainly 4 regions, each of them (except for the eastern part) has their own "Dialect group". A person from the northeastern part may understand most of the words in northern dialect, since it's like a mix of central Thai and northeastern Thai. Then there's southern Thai where everyone will have a hard time understanding it since it has some influences from India and Malaysia. But then again, some of the words in those dialects are still using the "Old Thai" language. For example, in central Thai, a 'Mat' would be "Sue", but in other regions, they would all call it "Saad". Mainly because central Thailand has been always the central of the power where most rich nobles reside. And for those nobles, foreign words from China, India and even Cambodia sounded more "Refined". Then there is Laos, a country up northeast from Thailand. Everyone there basically speaks funny northeastern Thai accent (or rather, northeastern Thais speak Lao with funny accent). And many people in Laos could speak Thai with no problem. For comparison, Lao is like a simplified Thai. If you use the same grammar structure for Thai, you'd be seen as a bit rude. There's also the Zhuang further up north in south China. This is like even more simplified Thai and much less formal. FYI, the word "Ku" is literally "Me" or "I" in Thai, but it's often used when you speak with your friends and you can NEVER use this with a stranger or anyone older since it's very rude. But in Zhuang, the word Ku is used as if it's just "Me"

cool do they have internet access? or are they gangsta?

NOW DO THE DARTH VADER CANTEEN SKETCH IN FRIES AND I WILL BE IMPRESSED!🤣

He sounds like if a northern English person like from Lancashire or Merseyside were trying to speak Dutch
