Friesland is in the North of the Netherlands, not the East. Ostfriesland (East-Friesland) and Nordfriesland (North-Friesland) are on the North Sea shores of Germany... that's East of Westfriesland... I hear the Dutch call it just "Friesland". So the Friesen are a nation split by the Dutch-German border. Cheers, Sören	[reply]

Friesland (or Fryslân), the province is in the North-West of the Netherlands, but the Frisians as a people/ethnic group (and probably the Frisian language) were probably dispersed over a much wider area, including much of the North of the Netherlands. disclaimer: I'm not a linguist or historian.
