Frisian Trade

This is an educational animation, a visualization of one of 41 topics of the canon of Frisian history, entitled 11&30. The numbers stand for the cities and 'districts' the province once had, respectively.

This animation deals with Frisian trade throughout the centuries.

Each of the 41 animations will be aired by regional broadcasting station 'Omrop Fryslan'. They are all narrated in Frisian, so good luck keeping up!

Check http://www.11en30.nu to view all of the animations and maybe do some reading, if you like. At some point the information on here will be available in English as well.

Thanks. There's a translation in English (under the button with the arrow), but I'm not sure if it shows automatically when one displays the clip.

Also, who would write an introduction in English if not a word of it is spoken.

[zjeraar]

It's for a broader appeal. To interest people from other countries, like the people who've moved from Friesland to Canada, the USA and Australia in the late 19th century and the early 20th century.

The language actually is the second official one of the Netherlands. Not just only in Friesland.

The best thing you did do was making it in Frisian, and you even added English subtitles.

Thumbs Up!

It's amazing how similar Frisian sounds to English. I can almost understand it.

Frisian is my native language. I liked this video but that thing about that the trading over water stopped in 19th century is not true! The Frisians were still trading with countries over sea. Especially in the eel-trade with England. The village called Heeg even had his own domain right under the Tower Bridge on the Themes were only ships of the frisian were allowed to moor and for free of course. In 1914 it came to an end. Kinda nostalgic isn't it...

HI

This is fab, I live in Holland for a few months and picked up abit of Dutch (Hollans). This id Fries however is so near English my first language a lot of it is intelligable. it almost like a very thick Newcastle accent The two tongues Fries and English would have been the same at some point. I feel like if I had a sharp smack on the head I would understand ALL of this.

[Kdssow]

Ik ben een Hollander, maar ik kan het grotendeels verstaan aangezien ik uit een dorp kom die een oud-hollands dialect heeft.

[mratcl]

I can understand it from having learnt Dutch and my first language being English
