The Frisians are a Germanic ethnic group native to the coastal parts of The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany.

They are concentrated in the Dutch provinces of Friesland and Groningen and, in Germany, East Frisia and North Frisia.

They inhabit an area known as Frisia.

Frisians have a reputation for being blond-haired.

The Frisian languages are still used by 500,000 speakers; dialects of Frisian are recognized as official languages in both the Netherlands and Germany.
