In English the Language is called Friesian. It is not part of the Celtic Language group and bears no Celtic markers.
Friesian is Part of the Germanic langauge group - The Germanic Langauge group is broken into serval parts, some have died out but there are 3 main branches - North germanic - Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, 'new' Norwegian and Swedish, east germanic ,which is now extinct and West Germanic.
West Germanic has 3 distinct parts -there are technical terms for these but for simplicity they are The 'german' sub group (Modern german, Yiddish Swiss-German etc) The Dutch Subgrouo (Dutch, Limbuurgse and Afrikaans) and the North Sea Sub Group (English, Friesian, Lallans (which is the langauge of Southern Scotland as spoken by Robert Burns) and Plaats (the Language of the Ems region of Germany).
Friesian is therefore more similar to English than it is to Dutch , indeed the local dialects of some parts of Norfolk in the east of England can be understood by friesan speakers with no trouble whatsoever.
