This map shows the extent of the Frisian people in Northern Europe. Frisians speak their own Germanic dialect which is roughly split (in descending order of prevalence) into West Frisian (in the Netherlands), East Frisian (in Germany) and North Frisian (in Denmark). What is now West and East Frisia used to be part of the Kingdom of Frisia. This kingdom lasted from around the year 600 until they were subjugated by the Franks in 734.
