Norman, or "Norman French", is
Norman, or "Norman French", is a Romance language from northern France and the Channel Isles. It is a close cousin of French and the source of most Latin vocabulary in English.
This video was recorded by Romain Lange in France. Norman (also, "Norman French") is a Romance variety, one of the langues d'oïl of Northern France, alongside French, Tourangeau, Walloon, and Gallo, among others. Historically disregarded as dialects of French, the majority of languages d'oïl are under-resourced and spoken by aging populations; due to varying definitions of classification, there is little reliable census data to illuminate how many speakers there are of each language. However, we do know that Norman is among the most widely spoken, with nominal recognition in the Channel Islands of Great Britain: Jersey, Guernsey, and Sark, where the language is known eponymously as Jerriàis, Guernésiais, and Sercquiais. Jean's Cauchois variety of Norman is one of the language's eastern dialects, spoken in and named for Pays de Caux, a cultural area in the Seine-Maritime départment of France's greater Normandy region. Notably, Norman is the language from which English derives the vast majority of its Latin vocabulary.
