I'm 75% Frisian and 25% Dutch, to which some of you might say, "Just admit it, LMP, you're 100% Dutch!" Which would be true, except that Frisians have a rather exalted opinion about their own identity as compared to the rest of their Netherlandish compatriots. Now, I classed myself with the first group rather than the second, which may be considered to be debatable. But when you say Roman/Germanic, that leads me to think of French and Spanish, not Dutch. So I think I have to class myself with Germanic/Scandinavian.
