Jèrriais is the byleid o the Norman leid spakken in Jersey, yin o the Channel Islands aff the coast o Fraunce. Hit haes doukin ower the past yeirhunner as Ingles haes acome the leid o eddication, commerce an admeenistration. Thare are no monie fowk that spik Jèrriais as a mitherleid an, awin tae the eild o the remainin spikkers, thair nummers gae doun ivery yeir. Nanetheless, efforts are bein makkit tae keep the leid alive.
A seemilar leid, Guernésiais, is spakken in nearby Gansey. The leid o Sark, Sercquiais, comed fae Jèrriais bi Jersey colonists that sattlet Sark in the 16t yeirhunner; an thare is mutual intelligibility wi the Norman leid o mainlaund Normandy.
Jèrriais is affen cried "Jersey French" or "Jersey Norman French" in Ingles (tho aiblins this gies the impression that the leid is a byleid o French) an "jersiais" or "normand de Jersey" in French. Jèrriais is distinct fae the Jersey Legal French uised fir legal contracts, laws an offecial missives bi the govrenment an admeenistration o Jersey. Fir this raison, sum fowk uise the term "Jersey Norman" tae clarifee.
