Guernsey French

Do you think it would be unfortunate if Sarkasie is no longer spoken on the Island? Should we fight to keep it alive?

Shame no one can agree on the spelling of the language! I do, however, think that these types of languages should be kept alive and celebrated as part of a unique heritage, whilst embracing other more widely spoken languages in order to keep pace with the rest of the world.

On the contrary, I consider sarkaise doesn't have to be recovered. Islanders should do better learning french, and not a so small language.

i think sertchiais should be kept alive, if there is no increase in immigrant population, and if its taught in sark school then it will be quite unique for such a small islande to speak in both languages, like Wales

I think Sarkasie must be kept alive and promoted! It is a precious gem of a tongue and will be advantageous for cultural worth, intellectual development as well as touristic interest. It needs to be put into print and circulated beyond Sark. English speakers ought to esteem it more highly.
