Söl'ring is the
dialect of the
North Frisian language spoken on the island of
Sylt in the
German region of
North Frisia. Söl'ring refers to the Söl'ring Frisian word for Sylt, Söl'. Together with the
Fering,
Öömrang, and
Heligolandic dialects, it forms part of the insular group of North Frisian dialects. It differs from the other dialects because of its relatively strong
Danish influence. Due to mass
tourism on Sylt, the dialect has been largely displaced by forms of
German and Söl'ring is only spoken by several hundred people, many of whom no longer reside on Sylt. Although it is taught in several
primary schools, its prospects for survival are unfavorable compared with other insular dialects.
