Mesdames, mesd'mouaiselles, mêssieux, bouônjour. Man nom est Touènne et j'sis ichîn pouor vos prêchi un mio entouor l'Jèrriais et comme tchi qu'j'sommes à tâchi dé l'garder en vie et dé l'présérver pouor l'av'nîn.
Ladies and gentlemen, I thought that I should start by using a language that is not normally heard in England!
I am here to tell you something about Jèrriais and how we are working with the technology at our disposal to keep it alive.
Firstly I should declare that I am a practitioner in the maintenance of one specific language which is severely endangered, rather than an academic. I'd like to thank Mari for encouraging me to present a paper and for saying that I probably wouldn't be eaten by this audience! I hope that what I have to offer in this short presentation may give you some insights that will be useful.
I've already mentioned the name of the language, Jèrriais, but I had better locate it on the map.

La Section de la langue Jèrriaise
La Section de la langue Jèrriaise rapporte:
Les Fieillets Jèrriais.
Juilet 2012
Salutâtions tout l’monde. Tchi temps acouo eune fais! Thank you to all those who attended last month’s meeting. Things are progressing slowly forward.
This month there are various events but the main one for us is the West Show. Colin Ireson et al at L’Office du Jèrriais would like some help running the Jèrriais stall this coming weekend. Names and times you can offer are needed so he can get Parking Permits. We also need to take some Preunmié Mille Mots for sale.
The SJ also has a stand/stall and maybe we could place some books there as well.
Later in the month there is the Festival of British Archaeology and members could join any of the Section’s visits and maybe add some Jèrriais to the scenes.
