North Frisian dialects

Sylt Frisian, orSöl'ring, is thedialect of theNorth Frisian language spoken on the island ofSylt in theGerman region ofNorth Frisia.Söl'ring refers to theSöl'ring Frisian word for Sylt,Söl'. Together with theFering,Öömrang, andHeligolandic dialects, it forms part of the insular group of North Frisian dialects. It differs from the mainland dialects because of its relatively strongDanish influence.^[2] Due to masstourism on Sylt, the dialect has been largely displaced by forms ofGerman andSöl'ring is spoken only by a few hundred people, many of whom no longer reside on Sylt. Although it is taught in severalprimary schools, its prospects for survival are unfavorable compared with other insular dialects. An online dictionary is available for looking upGerman toSöl'ring translations and vice versa.^[3]

Üüs Söl’ring Lön’, dü best üüs helig; Dü blefst üüs ain, dü best üüs Lek! Din Wiis tö hual’en, sen wü welig; Di Söl’ring Spraak auriit wü ek. Wü bliiv me di ark Tir forbün’en, Sa lung üs wü üp Warel’ sen. Uk diar jaar Uuning bütlön’ fün’en, Ja leng dach altert tö di hen.	Our Sylter Land, thou art to us holy; Thou art our own, thou art our joy! Thine old ways, to them we hold steadfastly; The Sylter tongue we shall not forget. We are forever to thee bound, So long as on this Earth we live. And those who to the Mainland moved, For you they cannot help but yearn there.
