Editing Frisia (section)

== Subdivisions ==
Frisia is commonly divided into three sections:

*'''[[West Frisia]]''' in the Netherlands roughly corresponds to the [[Provinces of the Netherlands|province]] of [[Friesland]] (''Fryslân''). In a broader sense, it also includes [[West Friesland (region)|West Friesland]] in northern [[North Holland]] and the [[Ommelanden]] in the province of [[Groningen (province)|Groningen]], though the [[West Frisian language]] is only spoken in Friesland proper. Dialects with strong West Frisian [[Substrata (linguistics)|substrate]]s, including [[Low German]] and [[Low Franconian languages|Low Franconian]], are also spoken in West Frisia. In the province of Groningen, people speak [[Gronings]], a [[Low German|Low Saxon]] dialect with a strong Frisian substrate. Rural Groningen originally belonged to the Frisian lands "east of the [[Lauwers]]" and is therefore more closely linked to East Frisia than to the west. In West Friesland, [[West Frisian Dutch]] – a [[Hollandic dialect]] with strong Frisian influences – is spoken.
*'''[[East Frisia (peninsula)|East Frisia]]''' in [[Lower Saxony]], Germany roughly corresponds to the historical regions of [[East Frisia]] ([[Aurich (district)|Aurich]], [[Leer (district)|Leer]], [[Wittmund (district)|Wittmund]] and [[Emden]]) and [[Oldenburger Friesland]] ([[Friesland (district)|Friesland]] and [[Wilhelmshaven]]), and the municipality of [[Saterland]]. In a broader sense, it also includes the [[Butjadingen]] peninsula (former [[Rüstringen]]) and [[Land Wursten]]. Usually, only the people from East Frisia proper ({{Langx|de|Ostfriesland}}) refer to themselves as East Frisians. The German name ''Ostfriesland'' distinguishes the historical region from ''Ost-Friesland'', which refers to East Frisia as a whole.
*'''[[North Frisia]]''' in [[Schleswig-Holstein]], Germany roughly corresponds to the district of [[Nordfriesland]] and the archipelago of [[Heligoland]]. It includes the [[North Frisian Islands]], where varieties of the [[North Frisian language]] are spoken. It stretches from the [[Eider (river)|Eider River]] in the south to the border of [[Denmark]] in the north. Until the [[Second Schleswig War]] in 1864, the region belonged to the Danish [[Duchy of Schleswig]].
