Wangerooge Frisian, also known as Wangeroogic or Wangeroogish, is an extinct variety of the East Frisian language, formerly spoken on the East Frisian Island of Wangerooge. Descended from the Weser subdialect of Old Frisian, it flourished on the island until a massive storm struck during the winter of 1854–1855, causing the inhabitants to flee to the mainland near Varel.
