Dutch Frisians can be hotheads too. Two Frisian teams clash in the North!
Karl, Did these Danish and German Frisians also had their local rivalries and quarrels?

Pieter To answer your question of local rivalries and quarrels between German Frisians and Danish Frisians, yes, especially in sports for the reason it is so competative. This area of Flensburg which is Southern Schleswig-Holstein is almost borderless between Denmark and Germany. This area has quite a large Frisian population being from every thing from ship building, farming to craftsman, with this also a great deal of Danish families, they are the:danske sydslesvigere/ Danish South Schleswigians. They speak a different dialect of Dansk, but to listen closely, still understandable. There are two different Frisian languages in this area though, one is our North Frisian and the other is Saterlandic which is understandable if once again to listen with care. Frisians for the most part, stay with of course the Frisian language, but with this, also the local language rather it be Dansk or German or both and so better blend in. Frisians are people also, and with this, are not perfect, some have a temperment, some of course would rather stay at peace until pushed overly hard. My self was not aware for some years, but am declared a minority which for all practical purposes means little or nothing. But I would only suppose for reasons of legality it is a declarable instance. minorityrights.org/minorities/danes-and-frisians/I believe Jaga some years past, visited this area of Southern Scheswig-Holstein around Flensburg, perhaps she has some memories of the area. It is a beautiful area and have always enjoyed the trips through there. Karl
