Languages of Freiga



The official languages of the Kingdom of Freiga are the Frisian Languages including West Frisian, East Frisian and North Frisian; and Friso-Saxon. There is no standardised Friso-Saxon language it is but an amalgamation of languages or dialects written into the constitution for clarity and stability. It also prevented the need to write each law in seven languages reducing the number to four. Legislation is written in either Gronings or East Frisian Low Saxon being noted at the top of the act. West Frisian was first standardized in 1700 and East Frisian followed in 1735. The Fryske Akademy was founded in Leeuwarden in 1738 to standardize the grammar and language of the Frisians. In the Frisian states there are a number of semi-official languages, languages official in the said state only, which are not official in nation wide documentation thus hold a semi-official status. These include Gronings, East Frisian Low Saxon and North Oldenburgs. A further Friso-Saxon language/dialect is partially recognized in Friesland. Danish, Dutch and Low Saxon are all regional recognized languages while in Cuxhaven Low Saxon is the official language it shares no status in the national constitution. In Leeuwarden and other cities near the Netherlands a Friso-Dutch language called Stadfries which is a mixed language that consists of Old Frisian and Dutch. Despite there being over 20,000 speakers and a number of schools whose primary language is Stadfries there is no recognition legally. There is also a minority Turkish immigrant language apparent in Freiga though is dispersed and holds no official recognition.
