Hindeloopen Frisian (natively Hylpers, West Frisian: Hylpersk, also referred to as Hindeloopers in English and Dutch) is a West Frisian variety spoken in the port town of Hindeloopen and the village of Molkwerum on the west coast of Friesland. It has preserved much of the Old Frisian phonology and lexicon, and has been attested to since the 17th Century. Hindelooper is spoken by some 500 people in Hindeloopen, almost all of them elderly, with the number of speakers decreasing.^[1]
