Frisian is a Germanic language, or group of closely related languages, spoken by around half a million members of an ethnic group living on the southern fringes of the North Sea in the Netherlands and Germany.
Frisian is officially recognised and protected as a minority language in Germany and is one of the two official languages in the Dutch province of Fryslân.
Originally, Frisian was the language closest related to English, but after at least five hundred years of being subjected to the influence of Dutch it is obvious to most observers that nowadays it bears a greater similarity to Dutch than to English.

 Cover Pages: Code for the Representation of the Names of Languages. From ISO 639, revised 1989.
The two-character language codes of ISO 639 are relevant to SGML encoding in two respects.
Second, the WSD (Writing System Declaration) implemented in the Text Encoding Initiative uses the [two-character] language code of ISO 639 (as amended) as a language.code attribute of the nat.language declaration, specifying the language in which the WSD is written.
The two-character language codes of ISO 639 are recognized as being inadequate for use as SGML language attributes when tagging text, viz, for use as global lang attributes attached to any element to identify the language of the text element or a language shift.
