There is intercomprehension (wi some difficulty) wi Jèrriais-speakers frae Jersey an Norman-speakers frae mainland Normandy. Guernésiais maist closely resembles the Norman dialect o La Hague in the Cotentin Peninsulae (Cotentinais).
Guernésiais haes been influenced less bi French than haes Jèrriais, but conversely haes been influenced tae a greater extent bi Inglis. New wirds hae been importit for modern phenomena "le bike", "le gas-cooker".
