    Frisia! It’s a province of the Netherlands and I think their language is the closest one to English

      Closest to Anglic languages (English, Scots & I think some creoles?) in terms of ancestry - I think Danish is actually the closest to English due to the influence of old norse on English though? Or it could just be coincidence in how they evolved?, and part of the Anglo-Frisian family which means it’s pretty closely related
