Place names in
Fryslân.
The local authorities have autonomy in defining the language form
and spelling of street names, villages and towns within their
jurisdiction. Hence the spelling of the names, both in Dutch and
Frisian, may not always correspond with the general spelling rules
of either language. In this list. the spellings used by the
municipalities have been decisive. Although most municipalities
show both Dutch and Frisian names on the village entrance coats of
arms, the Frisian form is official in some municipalities, the
Dutch form in others. In the blue list (the list based on the
official names) you will find
- The official name
- The name in other language
versions (in brackets), if there is one
- A number corresponding to the
municipality, found on the main site of the list of place
names
Frisian language forms are rendered
in bold. Language forms of dialects (only for Het Bildt, eastern
Kollumerland, Wadden Islands and West- and Eaststellingwerf, where
Frisian is not - wholly - indigenous) are rendered in italic.
Combinations of bold and italic mean that the name is identical in
both Frisian and non-Frisian local dialect. Seperate Dutch forms,
where they exist, are rendered in plain roman. If no seperate Dutch
form is rendered, the official form is also used in Dutch. The
orange list comprises the unofficial forms. The official form is
given behind the stroke.
