VOICED : Islanders seek to revive Jersey's native tongue

The video discusses the efforts to revive the native language of Jersey, known as Jerry, which is critically endangered with fewer than 800 native speakers. Historically stigmatized, Jerry is now being taught in schools with structured programs. The language, similar to Norman French, is crucial for preserving Jersey's cultural identity. In 2019, Jerry was made the island's third official language, boosting revitalization efforts. The aim is to integrate Jerry into daily life without replacing English or French, ensuring the island's culture and history are preserved.
