History With Hilbert | The Frisian Perspective on "Talking to a Frisian farmer in Friesland with Old English" @historywithhilbert | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Frisian is the closest living language to English (after Scots), and it is frequently possible for speakers of Frisian and English to communicate across language barriers. In a famous clip from Mongrel Nation, Eddie Izzard went to Fryslân and tried to speak Old English, the language of the Anglo-Saxons, with a Frisian farmer. Having studied both Old English as well as being a speaker of Frisian, I looked at this video from both perspectives, seeing where, and why, they were able to communicate and what caused issues with the mutual intelligibility.
