New material added to D’s articl’yes et des nouvelles entouor lé Jèrriais 1800-1899:

…above all the continual chatter of the Jersey-Norman patois, are totally unlike anything to be found in England, but they bear an exact comparison with market-day at any little town in Western France.

(from The Graphic 1894)
