The East Frisian language course “Ōstfräisk Tóóllēr” has been published on oostfraeisk.org!

With this course book there is finally a good point of contact for everyone who wants to learn the East Frisian language properly. The course book, which consists of 10 lessons, was written by our member Onno Dirk Feldmann. In addition to texts and explanations of grammar, it also contains quite a few audio texts and even small video clips in which East Frisian can be learned in a relaxed way.

Jungfräiske Mäinskup intends to use the book for their East Frisian courses in the future.

East frisian names

East frisian names

Posted on by Onno Feldmann

In the project we are supporting for a standard East Frisian dictionary, our member Onno Feldmann now also regularly includes East Frisian first and last names. It is not about the pronunciation of the names in German, but the pronunciation in East Frisian. The old East Frisian names like Onno, Ubbo, Fokko are pronounced completely differently in East Frisian:

“That is because of abbreviations we have everywhere in East Frisia. In East Frisian, the name Ubbo is called Ueb and the Name Fokko is called Foek. I know this from my family as well as I am called Oen.” says Feldmann.

A pronounciation like this has never been documented in any way, except for Holger Weigelt, who described some of them. With this branch of our project we want to support the East Frisian language in this area and keep our names.
