覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Frisian は Friesland「フリースラント地方」と結び付け、その地域の「人・言語・文化」を表す語と覚える。名詞ならフリジア人またはフリジア語、形容詞なら Frisian culture のように「フリジアの」。英語と近縁だが、英語の一方言ではなく独立したゲルマン諸語である。
Link Frisian with Friesland, the North Sea region most strongly associated with the Frisian people and languages. As a noun, it can mean either a Frisian person or a Frisian language; as an adjective, it appears in combinations such as Frisian culture, Frisian settlements, and Frisian history. Its close historical relationship to English makes a useful memory connection, but Frisian is not simply a dialect of English. Picture a museum display about coastal settlements beside a modern map of the Netherlands and northwestern Germany.

frisian の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語の部族名 Frisii に由来し、北海沿岸(現オランダ・ドイツ北部)に住んだゲルマン系民族を指す。フリジア語は英語に最も近い親縁言語とされる。関連語:Friesland(フリースラント地方)、Old Frisian(古フリジア語)。
Frisian ultimately derives from Latin Frisii, the Roman name for a Germanic people living along the North Sea coast in areas now belonging chiefly to the Netherlands and Germany. The name was later applied both to their descendants and to the related West Germanic languages spoken in the region. Old Frisian and Old English share notable similarities, reflecting their close position within the West Germanic language family.
