Survival of North Friesian*
I was reading a book with a chapter about Danish languages politic in Schlewig before 1864. One of the thing that hit me was that in the traditionel Frisian areas along the Wadden Sea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordfriesland), German was used in the Church and School, while in Schleswig-Flensburg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleswig-Flensburg) Danish was used. South of that only German was used. So what if some danish government get the idea to used Friesian as vedge issue against the Germans, by using it in Nordfriesland as church and school languages and fully recognise the Friesian as a national language. The result could be a full Friesian national identity from the early 19th century. We could end up with a Friesian majority in Nordfriesland.
*While North Frisian isn't dead, there're only 10000 speakers left, and few children learn the language, there're good chance that it will disappear in two or three generations.
