You're right about that. I remembered wrong. But with good reason- Faroese
and Frisian are related, being neighboring branches of the same linguistic
tree, Faroese being in the North Germanic branch, Frisian the West
Germanic. I can't remember if they can be understood by each other. Modern
German and modern Dutch can, but I don't know about the older languages.
