		Jèrriais and Sercquiais are, respectively, the Norman French dialects spoken on Jersey and Sark.
		Even though Sark is geographically close to Guernsey, Sercquiais is related more to Jèrriais than to Guernesiais (the dialect of Guernsey) since it developed from a form of Jèrriais after Sark was colonised from Jersey in 1565.
		Information about speakers of Sercquiais has never been gathered officially but in 1998 it was estimated that, at that time, fewer than 20 out of the Island's 600 permanent inhabitants (3.3%) were still able to speak Sercquiais.

		A similar language, Dgèrnésiais is spoken in neighbouring Guernsey; the language of Sark, Sercquiais, is a descendant of the Jèrriais brought by the Jersey colonists who settled Sark in the 16th century; and there is inter-comprehension with the Norman language of mainland Normandy.
		Jèrriais is often called "Jersey French" or "Jersey Norman French" by English-speakers (who lack an adjective for Jersey in the English language) and "jersiais" or "normand de Jersey" by French-speakers.

	Lé Sèrtchais
		At the Chefs Plaids, Deputy Harold de Carteret expressed the opinion that English only should be spoken thus giving the "strangers" a chance of knowing what was being said, and in reply to Sieur A. Falle's retort, asked if that member could teach the language, adding, somewhat acidly, "You can't even write it".
		I must, however, disagree with a statement made in Guernsey recently that the Channel Islands Norman-French is not a literary language, for there are a number of littérateurs of considerable distinction in Jersey and Guernsey whose contribututions in this field have been exceedingly meritorious.

		Le Sercquiais, and les Sercquiais, will soon follow.
