==Migration to England and Scotland==

Frisians principally settled in modern-day Kent, [[East Anglia]],<ref>{{Cite journal |jstor = 2590857|title = The Frisians in East Anglia|journal = The Economic History Review|volume = 10|issue = 2|pages = 189–206|last1 = Homans|first1 = George C.|year = 1957|doi = 10.2307/2590857}}</ref> the [[East Midlands]], [[North East England]],<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.wilcuma.org.uk/who-are-the-anglo-saxons/the-frisians/ | title=The Frisians, their tribes & allies}}</ref> and [[Yorkshire]]. Across these areas, evidence of their settlement includes place names of Frisian origin, such as [[Frizinghall]] in [[Bradford]] and [[Frieston]] in Lincolnshire.<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://archive.org/stream/jstor-456984/456984_djvu.txt | title=Frisian Place-Names in England| publisher=PMLA| date=January 1918}}</ref><ref name="openaccess.leidenuniv.nl" />

Similarities in dialect between [[Great Yarmouth]] and Friesland have been noted, originating from trade between these areas during the Middle Ages.<ref>{{Cite book |url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237534065 |chapter = The Position of Frisian in the Germanic Language Area|last = Gooskens|first = Charlotte|date = 2004| title = On the Boundaries of Phonology and Phonetics |editor-first = D.
