Old Frisian was the West Germanic language spoken between the 8th and 16th centuries by the people who had settled in the area between the Rhine and Elbe on the European North Sea coast in the 4th and 5th centuries. People from this region also settled in England, which is why a close resemblance exists between Old Frisian and Old English. Old Frisian evolved into Middle Frisian spoken from the 16th to the 19th century.
