Wangerooge Frisian is an extinct dialect of the East Frisian language, formerly spoken on the East Frisian island of Wangerooge.[3][4] Wangerooge Frisian was a part of the Weser group of dialects which included the Wangerooge and the equally extinct Wursten dialect.[5] The last speaker, Hayo Hayen, died in 22 November 1950.[1] It was well documented, with a grammar in publication,[6] and there is a revival movement.[2]
