Subject: Taalportaal adds description of Sater Frisian morphology and syntax


Taalportaal has added a description of Sater Frisian morphology and
syntax to its website taalportaal.org. The site was launched in 2014
and already contained extensive descriptions of Dutch, Afrikaans and
West Frisian.

Taalportaal is a joint effort of the Meertens Instituut, Leiden
University, the Instituut voor Nederlandse Taal, the Fryske Akademy,
and the Virtuele Instituut Vir Afrikaans. The Sater Frisian part has
been written by Eric Hoekstra and Bouke Slofstra of the Fryske
Akademy. An additional description of Sater Frisian phonology by
Stephen Laker is to follow in 2024. The project was initiated and
supported by the Seeltersk-Kontoor of the Oldenburgische Landschaft.

With around 2000 speakers, Sater Frisian is the smallest of the three
modern Frisian languages. It has received very little attention from
linguists around the world. Authors Hoekstra, Slofstra and Laker based
their description on a small body of research, mainly by Pyt Kramer,
and furthermore on the analysis of a large corpus by Pyt Kramer,
containing around 200 lengthy recordings over a period of nearly
fourty years. Fieldwork by the researchers themselves has also been a
source of information.
