Spelling it as "Freesish" over "Frish" makes more sense. The people are called Frees (German: Fries, Saxon: Frees). The German  is usually an  in English. Also, the people are Frees/Fris/Fries not "Fri" so "Frish" makes no sense to use. That's why in German, they're called "Friesisch" as opposed to "Friesch". Angle is from French/Latin, the native name is Engle.

There are three main branches of West Theedish: Istvaeonish, Ingvaeonish, and Irminonish. So it makes sense to use these names to keep consistency:


 * Hightheech is often used to refer to exclusively Standard High German (even on this Wikia), so calling it Irminonish will avoid that confusion.


 * Separating Saxish and Engle-Freesish will imply that there are four main branches of West Theedish as opposed to three. Ingvaeonic can further be split into Engle-Freesish and Saxish, but it gives the wrong implication on a page like this. So best to group them together under Ingvaeonish.


 * Calling the languages derived from Old Low Frankish as "Frankish tungs" is highly inacurrate. High Frankish (aka East Frankish) and Middle Frankish are known as Frankish languages/dialects but they are descended from Old High German whereas Netherlandish is decended from Old Low Frankish (or proto-Istvaeonic). I'd suggest using Istvaeonish to keep consistency with the Irminonish-Ingvaeonish-Istvaeonish naming scheme.
