I am doing something similar for Low Saxon at the moment. At</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<</span><a style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" href="http://nds.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruker:Slomox/Plattgrenzen" target="_blank">http://nds.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruker:Slomox/Plattgrenzen</a><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">> I collect</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
geo-information on modern and former territories where Low Saxon</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
is/was spoken (sources for the borders are in most cases given in that</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
page). The result, rendered in a map, is visible under</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<</span><a style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" href="http://wiki.marcusbuck.org/Koort/Koort.php" target="_blank">http://wiki.marcusbuck.org/Koort/Koort.php</a><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">>. There are many areas</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
still lacking (mostly Plautdietsch colonies in Asia and America and</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
then the isolated settlements outside of the former German Reich in</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Poland), but it gives a good outline of the territory.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
I have not yet implemented any measure to distinguish former from</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
todays territory.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Similar things should be possible for Frisian too. You only need</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
sources for the information.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
