Residents of Jersey, in the English Channel, have ramped up efforts in preserving their local language, Jerriais.
With a mere 800 islanders using the language as a mother tongue, Jerriais is on the brink of being a thing of the past, which brothers, Jean and François who are first language speakers of Jerriais, are concerned about.
Jerriais had been condemned as being a peasant dialect which children were discouraged from using by means of punishment.
This, coupled with a preference for English usage, resulted in the current decline in first language speakers.
Nevertheless, 2019 saw Jersey recognising Jerriais as one of the island's official languages, joining French and English, and also backing its instruction in schools.
Jerriais instructor Susan Parker:
Situated 22 kilometres off the north-western shores of France, the island of Jersey is a British Crown dependency with its homogenous and distinctive way of life which student Atticus Mawby, considers to be embedded in the local Jerriais.
As the clock ticks away for Jerriais' survival, Jersey islanders are being spurred on to pick up the language.
Geraint Jennings spearheads the Jerriais language campaign in Jersey Heritage.
