Freesland/Friesland (New English Frisia; OE Frysland, Freslond) is a landship on the North Sea-coast of the Netherlands and Dutchland (th.i. Theetchland), in the Dutch/Theetch Bight (NE German Bight; Theetch Deutsche Bucht). Oversettings in the tungs of the land: Westfreesh: Fryslân; Northfreesh: Fraschlönj/Friislon; Saterfreesh/Selterish (Eastfreesh): Fräislound; Eastfreesh-Netherdutch: Freesland; Greenings Fraislaand; Netherlandish: Friesland; Danish: Frisland. It takes its name from the Freesh folk who have dwellt along the seashore and eylands of this stretch of land since oldendom, and who speak an underdealing (New English subgroup) of the Ingvaeonish/North Sea-Germanish tungs (a samening of nearly akin Westgermanish tungs). Freesh is the nearest kintung to English, after Scots.
