Les Fieillets Jèrriais
Mar 2000
Salutâtions. Thank you to all those who attended this month's meeting, it was a pleasure to see you all and to do something new. We discussed the National Trust ideas for translations, worked through some phrases for various topics and completed a Jèrriais language exercise which combined vocab. and sentences from a pictorial "fieillet" compiled by Geraint, called L's Appartéments; our confidence is increasing!
Les Preunmié Mille Mots are on disc, and have been checked and returned for corrections, while the introduction, publicity information and the index are being typed.
We have received letters from two more students who are researching Jèrriais and its present status linguistically and socially; and a letter from Moussieu Max Lucas with amusing comment on the use of 'Foire' or 'Faithe'. He also included a copy of an article by an eminent Norman scholar, the late Abbé Marcel Lelégard on the origins of the two 'leopards' of Normandy and the three of England and Jersey.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 5th April, 8.00pm at La Société Jersiaise in Pier Road, when we should see if we can implement Geraint's suggestion and prepare a contribution for the Food Fayre in May. There's lots of information available!
