In today's episode, hosts, Mel and Perry are talking all things Jèrriais, exploring place names, practical uses of our native language, and how Jèrriais helps us discover our Island's history.
From La Corbière to Rouge Bouillon, what do these Jèrriais place names tell us about the language and its use?
Tracy Peters, Jèrriais Language Officer, will share some interesting facts about our 'gem of the sea' and what more we can do to continue its legacy.
Why did Jèrriais stop being spoken and where did the language go during the 18th century? What is being done now to encourage new speakers?
