This website was created to show the relationship between West-Germanic languages (Dutch and German, plus related
dialects) versus the Ingvaeonic languages (Frisian and English, plus related dialects).
One rhyme demonstrates the palpable similarity between Frisian and English:
"Bread, butter and green cheese is good English and good Friese,"
which is pronounced more or less the same in both languages
Frisian: "Brea, būter, en griene tsiis is goed Ingelsk en goed Fries."
West Frisian is the name by which this language is usually known outside of the Netherlands, to distinguish
it from the closely related languages of Seelter-Frisian and North-Frisian, which are spoken in Germany.
