Sutherland Frisian language is a dialect of East Frisian language , one of the Frisian languages spoken in the German city of Sutherland . Sometimes it is also considered to be a dialect of the Frisian language, however, it is incomprehensible with the West Frisian language spoken in Friesland (see. Problem “language or dialect” ). Also, the Sherland Frisian language has its own ISO language code, different from the Frisian language code. The Sherland Frisian language is the last living dialect of the East Frisian language, once widely spoken in the north-west of modern Germany.
