KathWestra Twa Corbies in Friesian (40) RE: Twa Corbies in Friesian 05 Jan 10

Linguistically, Friesian is in the same family as Middle English, while Dutch is a Germanic language. That explains why Peter's verses would be understandable in Scotland, and maybe not so much in the Netherlands. This is a fascinating thread for a traditional song enthusiast with West Michigan Friesian roots who's also a language junkie! Thanks, Jack, for starting the discussion.
