Well, the Jerriais classes in the Eisteddfod seem to go from strength to
strength so don't give up hope yet!

They've always had those but I'm not sure it really demonstrates the
language is what anyone would consider a 'living language'. Does the
JEP still have a weekly column in Jersey French? George d'la Forge did
it in my day but it may have disappeared now.
You know when we start discussing obscure languages etc. that it's time
the weather improves so that we can garden instead!! ;-)
