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)_/¯

@@vallejomach6721 I think you are unnecessarily overcomplicating it. West Frisian has a fairly sizeable amount of L1 speakers of all ages, therefore it isn't dead.

Frisian is a great language, I've lived my entire life in Frisia and speak the language as well, my dad is a Frisian poet born and raised in Bolsward which is just under 15 minutes from my home. Especially the elderly folk are great to talk to! The older farmers (like the man in the video) however, speak with a very heavy accent which is usually not seen under the general population here.
why is everyone getting recommended this at the same time

That's actually how it works
The funny thing is that the farmer was just guessing at the words he recognised and applied syntax to figure out what Eddie was saying. Its like when a dutch person doesnt speak german and talks Dutch to a German. The German will be able to understand some and then use hands and feet to fill in the gaps.
This video just popped up in everyone's feed right now I assume
I had no idea that the thing missing from my life was Eddie izzard desperately trying to buy a brown cow from a Friesan farmer in a language that neither of them fully understands, but in hindsight it makes perfect sense that this was the missing piece I'd been searching for. Thanks algorithim!

Weird how several videos about Frisian are suddenly popping up everywhere.

Plattdeutsch used to be very common in northern Germany sadly its a dying language but i think its pretty cool since if you know Plattdeutsch you can actually understand Dutch and parts of the Swedish + other Germanic languages

They are sister languages after all, both Frisian and Old English come from the same parent language, Old Germanic, which in itself also comes from another parent language, which is Proto Indoeuropean. Language history is quite cool tbh
This almost sounds like German, I can understand everything they said
