The Inglis leid is Germanic leid even though manie fowk naysay tae accept it.

Auld Inglis wis like tae Auld German an Auld Dutch aince.

In fact, Auld German an Auld Dutch were a bunch o byleids an nae ane-claught leids.

Amang those byleids, there wis a byleid especiallie sellike tae Inglis: The Auld Frisian leid.

The day, we dae nae talk anent the auld Frisian leid - but we will talk anent the neweild west Frisian leid.

Afore we stert, we shood ken that the definition o "the Frisian leids" means wheen Frisian byleids,

Including the west Frisian leid whilk we talk anent this time.

There wis a faurkent conversation held with a west Frisian farmer in auld Inglis.

Ic wille bycgan an brunne cu.

In neweild west Frisian:

Ik wol in brune ko keapje.

They can be owerset in soothren Inglis:

I want to buy a brown cow.

But, I think that the west Frisian sentence is more sellike tae this Scots sentence:

I want tae cowp a broon coo.

As we can see there are wheen sellikeness atween the west Frisian an Scots sentences:

the wirds mean the soothre Inglis wird "to buy" are sellike in ilka leids - "tae cowp" an "keapje".

We can alsae notice that the wirds for "brown" an the wirds for "cow" ootspoken selsamelie in aw o those twa leids -

"broon" is ootspoken [brun] an "brune" is [brunə] an "coo" an "ku" are baith ootspoken [kʰu:].

I think that we can talke anent the west Frisian leid mair, but I'm nae that ithend tae dree this discussion.
