The language is phonetically consistent in how it is spelt and keeps the phonetical inventory of [https://youtu.be/aZGyISJ3djo West Frisian], rather than Dutch, including the tapped-r /'''r'''/ rather than the dirty hard-r /'''ɹ'''/. One difference, however, is that "oe" is pronounced as /'''ɜː'''/ as in ''"hearse"'' or ''"bird"'' (English RP) rather than /'''uː'''/ as in ''"food"''. Another is that /'''ɔː'''/ as in "paw" is used for "oa", and "ej" is pronounced as /'''eɪ'''/ as ''"bay"''.

All the tenses come from German influence since the foundation of Waddenzee e.g. Past and Future tense send the verb to the end with the -en ending, rather than -e in the present. However, the language largely has no grammatical gender, likewise to English. This makes this language one of the easiest in EarthMC to be learned by English speakers. However, there is ''"de"'' and ''"die"'', but ''"die"'' is only for before a vowel, likewise for ''"An"'' -used for either "on" or "a".

"Your" also changes depending on the sound after e.g. "Dien" for before a vowel, or "Je" before a consonant.

Vocabulary is approx. 50% Old Frisian, 30% Dutch, 20% German and 10% Modern English.

''"Fadoer Ure, Daht es ine gedram, ja, ~~Doar~~ nam b halij. ~~Doar~~ uil kaniengriesc koemmen, ~~Doar~~ befel bie werccen, An Oer, els ine gedram. Dis dej uil ure dejgwelsc brad aganen, ond uil ure gafolinjum foargane, Es wie foargannen gaflumenes uren. Ond in ~~koastnoenge~~ oes nette bringen, Mar froem deofiel niemoen, Amen."''

''"Fadoer Ure, Daht es ine gedram, ja, Je nam b halij. Je uil kaniengriesc koemmen, je befel bie werccen, An Oer, els ine gedram. Dis dej uil ure dejgwelsc brad aganen, ond uil ure gafolinjum foargane, Ondsua wie foargannen gaflumenes uren. Ond in kestnoenge oes nette bringen, Mar froem deofiel niemoen, Amen."''

Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on Earth, as it is heaven. Give us, this day, our daily bread, and forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.
