fresk

• frasch (Mooring)
• friisk (Sylt)

From Old Frisian frēsisk. Cognates include West Frisian frysk.

• (Föhr-Amrum) IPA^(key): [frɛsk]

fresk (Föhr-Amrum)

1. Frisian (of the Frisian languages, the Frisian-speaking people, or the regions inhabitated by them)
2. (archaic) Mainland North Frisian (of the Frisian dialects, people and areas on the mainland of what is now Schleswig-Holstein, including the Halligen, but excluding the islands of Amrum, Föhr, Sylt and Heligoland)

• The Insular North Frisians originally identified themselves only as Öömrang, Fering, Sölring and Halunder. They did not have a word for these islands collectively and the word fresk (on Sylt friisk) referred to the Mainland Frisians.
• Today the learned usage, which groups as “Frisian” all languages derived from Old Frisian, has established itself. However, when referring to their own speech, insular speakers still use the above individual terms and will not normally say that they snaake fresk (“speak Frisian”).
