During last week’s linguistic exchange in Jersey, we asked a Welsh-speaker, a Manx Gaelic-speaker, and a Jèrriais-speaker to demonstrate their languages. Each speaker chose a culturally-significant phrase which has some national meaning.

• Traa dy liooar – time enough
• Cymru am byth – Wales forever
• Man bieau p’tit Jèrri – My beautiful little Jersey

Thanks to Erin, Mari, and Geraint (who’s not the Welsh one!) for the contributions!
