Hi All

Message from Mathieu

"Dear Lowlanders,

I received this question last Friday, and I wonder if
anyone from this
list can help. This man is looking for a North Frisian
translation of the phrase 'I come from {city}'"

I'm no expert, but thanks to plenty of North Frisian
dictionaries in my possession:

Wiedingharder: Ik käm fuon...
Mooring / Nordergoesharder(Ockholm) / Hallig: Ik kam
foon...
Nordergoesharder (Langenhorn): Ik kam fun...
Föhr / Amrum: Ik kem faan...

Sorry can't help with Sylt or Helgoland - don't have
dictionaries for them

Gary
