We must find FRISIAN W/ ENGLISH ORTHOGRAPHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's got to be somewhere on the web. Please, help me find it.
Fredrik

To me, Frisian ortography looks English.
Porthos

Really? From my perspective, Frisian orthography looks just like Dutch, and that seems to be the standard, accepted consensus.
Fredrik

Frisian:
Red Hot Chili Peppers is in band út de Feriene Steaten, oprjochte yn Los Angeles yn 1983 troch Anthony Kiedis.
De oaren yn de oarspronklike band wienen syn kameraden Flea, Hillel Slovak en Jack Irons....


Especially the diphtongs ea and oa strike me as very English and very un-Dutch.
Porthos

Even with all of the 'j's and 'k's in Frisian? Don't forget that Frisian spelling standards are patterned off of the Dutch standard.
Fredrik

Yes, but quite diiferent from Dutch, though.
Here is my guess at how the Frisian statement above would look with English spelling:

Original:
Red Hot Chili Peppers is in band út de Feriene Steaten, oprjochte yn Los Angeles yn 1983 troch Anthony Kiedis.
De oaren yn de oarspronklike band wienen syn kameraden Flea, Hillel Slovak en Jack Irons....
=?
Anglo-Fries:
Red Hot Chili Peppers is in band oot de Fereeneh Staten, opryoghteh in Los Angeles in 1983 trogh Anthony Kiedis.
De auren in de aurspronklickeh band weenen syn kameradden Flea, Hillel Slovak en Jack Irons....
