Western Frisian, or West Frisian (Frysk), is a West Germanic language spoken primarily in the province of Friesland in the northern part of the Netherlands. It is the closest living relative to the English language. In the context of UK English, the spelling and vocabulary associated with the Western Frisian language would generally align with British English conventions.

If Western Frisian speakers in the United Kingdom communicate in English, they are likely to use British English spelling, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Within Western Frisian-speaking communities in the UK, individuals may use the Frisian language in various social and cultural contexts, maintaining a connection to their linguistic and cultural heritage.

It’s worth noting that while Frisian is a recognised regional language in the Netherlands and has official status in Friesland, it is not as widely spoken as Dutch. In the UK, interactions in Western Frisian may be limited to specific communities or social settings where individuals maintain their linguistic traditions.
