I don't know if they are still spoken or not but by coincidence, I came
across a grammar reference a few minutes ago,
Liddicoat, Anthony. 1994. Grammar of the Norman French of the Channel
Islands: the dialects of Jersey and Sark. 452 pp., phonology, syntax,
and lexicon. Mouton de Gruyter. The price to SSILA members is $38 US,
retail elsewhere is probably about 3-4 times that (a guess based on
past experience.) Sorry, I don't have an ISBN.
