South Frisian is a language spoken in South Frisia, bordering Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, as well as in Ztretshfreis, one of the eight states in the Stretchia Union. It descended from the West Germanic languages, but it strayed away from the other Frisian dialects until it became only half intelligible. It is currently spoken by about 20 000 000 people today. Standard South Frisian is the more international type of South Frisian that is used for diplomacy and general speech. It is similar to the dialect spoken in Ztretshfreis, rather than South Frisia. South Frisian can be compared to Frisian dialects, Dutch, German, Danish and Luxembourgish.
