[Untitled] edit
When did this dialect actually die out? Caesarion 08:42, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- According to the linked page: "The newspaper noted at the end of the 1880's that children in Alderney no longer spoke the Alderney language amongst themselves.
- "The final death of the language was a result of the upheavals of the Occupation."--The Jade Knight 21:47, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Dead? edit
Is this language dead or not because I'm seeing conflicting reports of almost dead and extinct. --151.224.254.144 (talk) 10:35, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- The article states, "It is estimated that there are now possibly only 20 people still fluent in the language."
- The article is mistaken! It is Sercquiais (spoken on Sark) which has twenty or fewer speakers left. Auregnais is extinct. I have no idea if this is WP:RS, but you will find many other sources all saying the same-: BBC: Norman dialects of the Channel Islands
- The Jade Knight (previous Talk section) queried this article as long ago as 2005. Why is so much of Wikipedia left uncorrected? Not everybody has the confidence to edit, which is why we flag problems on the Talk pages, so that others are aware! Alrewas (talk) 10:36, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- This source [1] says it's extinct. So I have corrected the article. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:33, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Features edit
It is obvious that Auregnais was related to Guernésiais, Jèrriais, and Serquois. But how was it related to them? What were its main distinguishing features? From what little material is left, at least something can be said about this dialect, I guess? Steinbach (talk) 18:47, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
