I'm wondering whether west Dutch and/or Flemish is more similar sounding/looking for south eastern English people like myself.

Benieuwd hoe het gegaan zou zijn als ik deze hele dag zwaar werk moest doen, land omploegen met de hand ofzo, roeien of vechten? Vis eet ik niet en vlees ben ik niet dol op. Dus waar ‘T ‘em dan wel in zit? Genen dan maar ;-) Ben trouwens een vrouw. Mijn dochter was met 12 jaar al 1,85m. Om mij heen ben ik bij lange na niet de enige en zeker ook niet de langste. Het neemt weer toe lijkt wel. Het voedsel is steeds vaker gemanipuleerd en mist vitaminen en mineralen. De leefomstandigheden steeds ‘comfortabeler’ waardoor het lichaam minder getraind wordt. En toch zie ik steeds vaker, steeds langere mensen. Wat verandert er dan nú in de genen? Of is er een voorouderlijke ‘knop’ ingedrukt en iets geheractiveerd? Ik vind het wel mooi, uniek.

    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.

    The pictures used are completely useless, also you have some mistakes. The Dutch (Hollanders) BANNED the language from being spoken or given on schools. Also discrimination against the Frisians was a rampant problem (even to this day you still have quite a lot of people who are discriminating against the Frisians) This eventually led to the Frisians rising up in the mid 20th century to speak and learn their own language. The Frisians are stated to be from an island north of England somewhere. Also they were stated to be excellent sailors and merchants for a large part of Europe's coastal regions.

The topic of if the Frisians where Vikings or not has started many comment section wars and it seems to have two sides of "The Frisians where great Vikings!" and "What no?

Also Goed wurk with this Audiobook! Haven't fully heard all of it yet but seems pretty good so far!

      Unfortunately this is only an online 'book', but there are books about the Frisian Vikings. Do you speak Dutch? Then I might be able to recommend some books. The problem with this Frisian Vikings is that often people don't understand that 'viking' wasnt an ethnicity, but rather a 'job/craft/something you did'. It's an Old Norse word for 'pirating', so with other words: attacking other places and taking their stuff. There are records of Frisian being the first ones doing that and afterwards the Scadinavian ones. And yes, there were clashes between the Frisians and the Scandinavian vikings, but also worked together. (Vikings often fought among each other according to the movies). The difference is that the Scandinavians kinda depended on it, they're practically Germanic tribes that migrated up north and almost nothing grows or lives up there (cold, mountains etc), so they had to steal food etc from other tribes and that where this whole viking thing came from. The biggest problem is that no one that's alive today was there, so you can't confirm anything and most of these things are 'speculations'.

    Goed wurk! I have not researched much into the politics of Friesland, although I know there is somewhat of a divide between the Cities and Country Side. From what I've seen/heard the Cities speak a lot of Dutch and are more integrated with the Dutch. While the more rural Country Side speaks a lot of West Frisian and is where you will find most independence supporters. This divide could make it hard to go in any direction and it seems the Dutch government doesn't care too much. I've heard there is barely if not no signs in West Frisian and the language is not promoted just aloud to be taught. Maybe I will research more into this topic 🤔

      Yes, you're completely right. An indendence Friesland is a far-fetched idea, although if wanted, not completely impossible. But before such a thing could happen, a lot would need to change.

    There is no independence within the EU ( another bigger union ) and the Euro isnt an independent currency

      Definitely, it would be a Friesland without the EU and their own curreny, like the Sceatta (old Frisian coin).
