<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"> Though informed I
am in no way obligated to introduce myself, it was encouraged, and seemed like
the right thing to do.  I've taken an interest in a few
"lowland" languages, and although I’m still uncertain as to what is
referred to by lowland languages from a Germanic point of view, I’m sure
someone will be kind enough to offer their knowledge on this matter. My interest
at this time mostly lies in understanding the Frisian language (Fryske).<span>  </span>I had not heard of it up until roughly a week
ago.<span>  </span>Since then, it has opened up a
world I didn’t know existed with respects to Northern European history.<span>  </span>The language is extraordinarily easy to learn
and I find myself understanding much of the programming, youtube videos, etc.
that I’ve been watching.<span>  </span>With this, if
anyone knows of more interactive websites, books or even organizations that
could assist me in learning this close cousin of Modern English, I’d be ever
grateful.</span></p>
