Your question does not make sense. A "francophone" is a person who likes speaking French. Some people in Jersey speak French, many many more speak English. In some rural districts they still speak a 'Jersey patois', a mix of old French and old English.

Jersey's main language is English. Until WW2 a local Patois variation of Normandie French was spoken widely but the returnees from evacuation brought mainland English to the island.
