The Frisian dialects projects is a tool to collect language data in an online experiment in the form of a game.

The Digital Humanities Lab built this application for a group of researchers affiliated to both Utrecht University and the Fryske Akademy. The application tests the knowledge of language variation within Frisia (Northern part of the Netherlands). Users of the application hear voices of Frisian speakers with different accents. They can then locate the origin of the speakers on a map of Frisia by clicking on a Google map interface. The answers are stored and used for linguistic research.

This is a follow-up project to Dialect for Drongo, an application that allowed visitors to the DRONGO language festival to test their knowledge of language variation within the Netherlands.
