No I agree that the idea that it could be the first language of the island again is pretty much impossible, that ship sailed a long time ago. I think the most viable option to preserve the language would be too make it more accessible rather than any attempt to force it back into common usage. I'm not 100% sure of the source any more, but I do remember hearing that although some dialects of Guernsey French could be read with a degree of understanding by some of our more linguistically adept French cousins, the spoken variants are obviously much less easier to understand due to regional accents etc. I believe that the relationship Guernesiais has to French is similar to our own understanding of late Middle English. I think that it is good to see, even on a discussion thread that people still have plenty of opinions on the language, good or bad.
