Subject: Project Symposium: Connecting the Frisian Language Family: Looking Back and Moving Forward


In autumn 2025, the Fryske Akademy, Nordfriisk Instituut and
Seeltersk-Kontoor started a joint research project on the Frisian
languages. This was the first linguistic research project to bring
together all three Frisian language areas North Frisian, Saterland
Frisian and West Frisian. As the pilot project draws to a close, we
would like to share what we have learned and explore opportunities for
future ‘pan-Frisian’ research together.
Everyone interested in the Frisian languages is warmly invited to
attend. Alongside presentations by the project team, there will be
plenty of opportunities to meet colleagues and exchange ideas. In the
afternoon, participants are invited to contribute to a discussion
about the future of research on the Frisian languages.
