Frisia

Frisia (known in German and Dutch as Friesland) is a region along the southeastern coasts of the North Sea. Frisia extends from the northwestern Netherlands across northern Germany to southwestern Denmark. Western Frisia is roughly identical with the Dutch province of Friesland, the northern part of North Holland province (called Westfriesland ) and also modern Groningen province, though the Western Frisian language is only spoken in Fryslân proper. In Groningen and West-Friesland, dialects with strong Frisian substrates are spoken (Low Saxon and Low Franconian dialect variants, respectively).
