| | | | Culture of Jersey - Art: Encyclopedia II - Culture of Jersey - Languages Jèrriais, the island's Norman language, is spoken by a minority of the population, although it was the majority language in the 19th century. Among those who still speak the language one can identify the parish of origin of a speaker by differences in phonology and lexis.
Many place names are in Jèrriais, and French and English place names are also to be found. Anglicisation of the toponymy increased apace with the migration of English people into the island since the end of the Napoleonic wars.
Since 1900, English has been permitted in debates in ...

| | | | Culture of Jersey - Art: Encyclopedia II - Culture of Jersey - Food and drink Seafood has traditionally been important to the cuisine of Jersey: mussels (called moules locally), oysters, lobster and crabs - especially spider crabs which are considered a particular delicacy. Razor-fishing, sand-eeling and limpeting used to be popular activities but have declined in importance. Ormers, being highly sought after, are conserved and fishing is restricted. Another seafood specialty is conger soup.

A large minority of the population is Roman Catholic. The historic toleration of religious minorities has lead to many persecuted minorities seeking refuge in Jersey. This has left a rich legacy of churches, chapels and places of worship.

| | | | Culture of Jersey - Art: Encyclopedia II - Culture of Jersey - Folklore and customs Jersey people are traditionally known as crapauds (toads) due to the particular fauna of Jersey that does not exist in the other Channel Islands, especially in Guernsey. According to a Guernsey legend, St Samson of Dol arrived in Jersey but encountered such a hostile reception in the then-pagan island that he proceeded on to Guernsey. The welcome being much warmer in Guernsey, he repaid the inhabitants of that island by sending all the snakes and toads from Guernsey to Jersey.
