Halunder

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lord's Prayer in Heligoland Frisian in the Paternoster Church of Jerusalem . New translation. The Lord's Prayer was spoken in Standard German on the island.

The Helgoland Frisian (own name Halunder ) is the Frisian dialect spoken on Heligoland . It belongs to the island Frisian branch of the North Frisian language . The dialect is only spoken by a few of the approximately 1200 inhabitants of the island today. Helgoland is taught at school and in adult education courses. The Halunder is licensed for official use on the island by the Frisian law in addition to the standard German official language .

In contrast to the dialects spoken in the district of North Friesland , Helgoland has a comparatively low Danish or Jutian influence, but was under a strong Low German influence. This difference becomes clear in the word for not: While all other North Frisian dialects have a Danish loan word here (for example Fering ei, Mooring ai ), the ni , borrowed from Low German, is used in the Halunder .
