As a Dutch speaker from Belgium I'm always surprised how easy to understand Frisian is for me. If I have it right, this language goes all the way up till the border with Denmark. I read a German book once about a girl from Hannover who moved to the island of Sylt in the far north. Some characters in the book spoke Frisian and the girl had trouble making out what they were saying, but I could make sense of these passages just fine, better than the German text actually. Language is so fascinating.

Fun fact: Plattdeutsch is so far from Hochdeutsch that it is considered as a language of its own. Also, there are many variants of Plattdeutsch itself - some of which I cannot understand, although I grew up with Plattdeutsch. Often, it takes less than 50 kilometers to find a place where you hardly understand the dialect...
