Old Frisian
Old Frisian was the
West Germanic language
spoken between the
8th
and
16th centuries
by the people who had settled in the area between the
Rhine
and
Elbe
on the European
North Sea
coast in the
4th
and
5th centuries
. Their ancient homes were originally North
Germany
and
Denmark
. The language of the earlier inhabitants of the region (the
Frisians
famously mentioned by
Tacitus
) is not attested. Old Frisian evolved into
Middle Frisian
spoken from the 16th to the 19th century.
