In this North Frisian vs English vs German language challenge, we're trying to find out if German and English speakers can understand the North Frisian language.

North Frisian (nordfriisk) is a minority language of Germany, spoken by about 10,000 people in North Frisia. The language is part of the larger group of the West Germanic Frisian languages. The language comprises 10 dialects which are themselves divided into an insular and a mainland group. [Thank you Wikipedia!]
