'''Dgèrnésiais''', also known as '''Guernésiais''', '''Guernsey French''', '''Guernsey Norman French''', or '''[[patois]]''' is the variety of [[Norman language]] spoken in [[Guernsey]].
As one of the [[Oïl languages]], it has its roots in the [[Latin]] language.

The [[2001]] census showed that 1,327 (1,262 Guernsey-born) or 2% of the population speak the language fluently while 3% fully understand the language. However most of these,
70% or 934 of the 1,327 fluent speakers are aged over 64. Among the young only
0.1% or one in a thousand are fluent speakers. However, 14% of the population claim some understanding of the language.

There is [[Mutually intelligible languages|intercomprehension]] (with some difficulty) with [[Jèrriais]]-speakers from [[Jersey]] and Norman-speakers from mainland [[Normandy]]. Dgèrnésiais most closely resembles the Norman [[dialect]] of [[La Hague]] in the [[Cotentin Peninsula]].

Dgèrnésiais has been influenced less by [[French language|French]] than has [[Jèrriais]], but conversely has been influenced to a greater extent by [[English language|English]].

== History ==
* Guernsey poet, George Métivier ([[1790]]-[[1881]]) - nicknamed the ''Guernsey [[Robert Burns|Burns]]'', was the first to produce a [[dictionary]] of the Norman language in the [[Channel Islands]], the ''Dictionnaire Franco-Normand'' ([[1870]]). This established the first standard [[orthography]] - later modified and modernised. Among his poetical works are ''Rimes Guernesiaises'' published in 1831.
* Prince [[Louis Lucien Bonaparte]] published a translation of the ''Parable of the Sower'' in Dgèrnésiais in [[1863]] as part of his philological research.
* Like Métivier, Tam Lenfestey ([[1818]]-[[1885]]) published poetry in Guernsey newspapers and in book form.
* Denys Corbet ([[1826]]-[[1910]]) described himself as the ''Draïn Rimeux'' (last poet), but literary production continued. Corbet is best known for his poems, especially the [[epic]] ''L'Touar de Guernesy'', a [[picaresque]] tour of the [[parish]]es of Guernesy. As editor of the French-language newspaper ''Le Bailliage'', he also wrote prose columns in Dgèrnésiais under the [[pen name]] ''Badlagoule'' ("chatterbox").
* Thomas Henry Mahy (born [[1862]]) wrote ''Dires et Pensées du Courtil Poussin'', a regular column in ''La Gazette Officielle de Guernesey'', from 1916. A collection was published in booklet form in [[1922]]. He was still publishing occasional pieces of poetry and prose by the start of the [[1930s]].
* Thomas Alfred Grut ([[1852]]-[[1933]]) published ''Des lures guernesiaises'' in 1927, once again a collection of newspaper columns. He also translated some of the Jèrriais stories of Philippe Le Sueur Mourant into Dgèrnésiais.
* Marjorie Ozanne ([[1897]]-[[1973]]) wrote stories, published in the ''Guernsey Evening Press'' between [[1949]] and [[1965]]. Some earlier pieces can be found in ''La Gazette de Guernesey'' in the [[1920s]].
* Métivier's dictionary was superseded by Marie de Garis' (born [[1910]]) ''Dictiounnaire Angllais-Guernésiais''; first edition published in [[1967]].
* When the Channel Islands were invaded by [[Germany]] in [[WWII]], Dgèrnésiais experienced a minor revival. Many locals did not always wish the occupying forces to understand what they were saying, especially as some of the soldiers had some knowledge of English.
== Current Status ==
* L'Assembllaïe d'Guernesiais, an association for speakers of the language founded in [[1957]], has published a periodical. Les Ravigoteurs, another association, has published a storybook and cassette for children.
* The annual [[Eisteddfod]] provides an opportunity for performances in the language, and radio and newspaper outlets furnish regular media output.
* There is some teaching of the language in voluntary classes in schools in Guernsey.
* Dgèrnésiais is recognised (along with [[Jèrriais]], [[Irish language|Irish]], [[Scottish Gaelic language|Scottish Gaelic]], [[Welsh language|Welsh]], [[Manx language|Manx]] and [[Scots language|Lowland Scots]] (in Scotland and [[Ulster Scots language|Northern Ireland]])) as a [[regional language]] by the British and Irish governments within the framework of the [[British-Irish Council]].
* Dgèrnésiais still receives little official support, but BBC Radio Guernsey and the ''Guernsey Press'' both feature occasional lessons, the latter with sometimes misleading phonetics.
