West Frisian languages
Group of languages of the Netherlands / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The West Frisian languages are a group of closely related, though not mutually intelligible, Frisian languages of the Netherlands. Due to the marginalization of all but mainland West Frisian, they are often portrayed as dialects of a single language. (See that article for the history of the languages.)
