The 1 official language of Guernsey is English, spoken by nearly everyone.

The 3 recognized regional languages are:

  1. Guernésiais
  2. Sercquiais
  3. Auregnais

Notes:

  • Guernésiais is spoken fluently by only about 2% of the population (according to 2001 census). 14% of the population claim some understanding of the language.
  • Until the early 20th-century French was the only official language of the Bailiwick, but French sharply declined after 1940.

What does s'ballivie insvle degernereve mean?

S'BALLIVIE INSVLE DEGERNERE VE is the inscription on most Bailiwick of Guernsey coins from about 1956 to 1984. As close as I can find to a resonable translation is "The Bailiwick of the Island of Guernsey". A Bailiwick is the jurisdiction of a Bailiff. The expression seems to derive from one of the old languages spoken on Guernsey, Guernesiais (Guernsey Norman), Sercquiais (Sark-French), or Auregnais (Norman dialect of Alderney) which is no longer spoken. All three languages have their roots in the Norman language and all belong to the Indo-European family of languages which embraces most of the European languages.
