Talking to a Frisian farmer in Friesland with Old English

goes to Friesland to try and speak old english. Apparently the english language as we know it originated from holland in its earliest form 1000 years ago (old english). Eddie proves it by going to holland to buy a cow...

    To clear up confusion, English does not descend from German. English, along with Frisian, Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic all descend from the Ancient Proto-Germanic language. Its called "Germanic" because it was geographically spoken originally in the areas of modern-day Germany. In other words, English is a sister, not a daughter, of German.

    In linguistic terms a 'dead language' is not to be confused with languages that are classified as 'extinct'. A dead language may still have a number of existing speakers but is no longer considered the 'native language' of the area to which it belongs. An extinct language has no living speakers and no living native descendants. They mean different things.

    @@iKrivetko On what basis have you determined that? I'm not arguing that it is or isn't, but you would need to provide some support to that claim to make that argument. To what extent is Frisian a 'native' language of the area? (again, a term that has specific meaning that may differ from the non-academic, generally perceived, definition of what people think that it means). *"A first language, native tongue, native language, mother tongue or L1 is the first language or dialect that a person has been exposed to from birth or within the 'critical period'"* Other determinants... Based on origin: the language(s) or dialect one learned first (the language(s) or dialect in which one has established the first long-lasting verbal contacts). Based on internal identification: the language(s) one identifies with/as a speaker of Based on external identification: the language(s) one is identified with/as a speaker of, by others *Based on competence: the language(s) one knows best Based on function: the language(s) one uses most* So what percentage of people from that area does that include?...and what percentage of those use the language primarily as their main means of communication on a day to day basis? A minority language having 'official' language status can also generally be ignored, as that label is often a modern token gesture that has come about by lobbyists and preservationists that have successfully defended their language and won concessions for it to be given that moniker and status. So, what you would also have to take into account would be...what is the primary language of major institutions and organisations of the region in which it is spoken...i.e. What is the language of Church? What is the primarily used legal language? What is used primarily by the courts etc, What language is used by the state/government? What is the language of business? What is the status of the Frisian language in education? Again, a cursory glance as far as education is concerned, would suggest that the majority of instruction is in Dutch, with some English...and as little as only one hour per week in Frisian (may be out dated, this was information from 2007, and I'm not invested enough to seek out more recent research data). Also, of note from that brief survey of literature on the topic, it would appear that where it IS used it is primarily spoken...literacy in the language in that data was as low as fewer than 12% of those that claimed they could speak it. Again, this is not ordinarily typical of a healthy living language. I'm also fairly sure that UNESCO considers the language to be critically endangered of becoming 'extinct'...so what term would/should be used, of those that exist typically when classifying languages, for a language that isn't quite actually extinct yet, but nearly? Again, having a fairly significant number of speakers is not an indicator of language health...in terms of academic semantics, which is what is being argued here, is it reasonable to label Frisian as a 'dead' language under the definition that terminology denotes? Maybe...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is characterised as "vulnerable" which is UNESCO's mildest epithet: Belarusian, Chechen and Bashkir are all "vulnerable" as well, and as someone from that part of the world I can tell you that they are alive and kicking, even with Russian being the definite lingua franca.

    ​@e4iojk most french/Latin/greek words aren't everyday words though. One thing I like to point out is that England is more genetically Britonic, so English initially comes from what was basically like a bunch of Welsh speakers who switched to West Frisian.
