A mystifying city with 225 names

++ Known as Leeuwarden, Ljouwert and Liwwadden, along with hundreds of variants over the centuries, 2018’s European Capital of Culture is the world’s undisputed capital of place names.
The historical Oldehoofsterkerkhof square in Leeuwarden, the capital of the province of Friesland in the Netherlands, is a striking muddle of the weird and the wonderful.
There is De Oldehove, the unfinished tower from the 16th Century that’s so crooked it leans further than Pisa’s. There is the dazzling Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics, a renovated stately house filled with Ming rarities and pieces by Picasso, but also once the childhood home of MC Escher, the 20th-Century graphic artist who created impossible dreamscapes of never-ending staircases and mind-tricking waterfalls. And there is Gemeentehuis, or City Hall, where the Dutch first heard of the legend of Grutte Pier, a giant pirate with superhuman strength who set out to kill anyone that wasn’t Frisian.
But arguably stranger than all of this is Lân fan taal (‘land of language’ in Frisian), a house dedicated to thousands of languages. A permanent addition to the square since January, the building has been erected as part of this year’s Leeuwarden-Friesland European Capital of Culture 2018programme, presenting 6,720 languages, a comprehensive catalogue of world tongues, including Frisian, the province’s principal language. It’s appropriate, too; particularly because Leeuwarden – or Ljouwert, Liwwadden, Leewadden, Luwt, Leaward or Leoardia, as it has been variously called between the 11th to 19th Centuries – is known as the City of 100 Names.
“We’re trying to give life to languages, and there’s nowhere better to do so than in a place with its own unique linguistic history,” said Siart Smit, Lân fan taal programme director, as he strolled around the installation. “This is a bilingual province, speaking both Frisian and Dutch, and there are 128 nationalities living in Leeuwarden. So this story celebrates our diversity, but it also promotes multilingualism.”
