The Channel Islands (Norman: Îles
d'la Manche, French: Îles Anglo-Normandes or Îles de la Manche) are
a group of islands in the English Channel, off the French coast of
Normandy. They comprise two separate bailiwicks: the Bailiwick of
Guernsey and the Bailiwick of Jersey, both British Crown
dependencies, and have a total population of about 160,000. The
respective capitals, St. Peter Port and St. Helier have populations
of 16,488 and 28,310. The Channel Islands are not part of the UK.The
inhabited islands of the Channel Islands are Jersey, Guernsey,
Alderney, Sark, Herm (the main islands); Jethou, Brecqhou (Brechou),
and Lihou.
All of these except Jersey are in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, but the
Minquiers, Écréhous, Les Dirouilles and Les Pierres de Lecq (the
Paternosters), uninhabited groups of islets, are part of the
Bailiwick of Jersey. Burhou and the Casquets lie off Alderney. As a
general rule, the larger islands have the -ey suffix, and the
smaller ones have the -hou suffix; this is believed to be from the
Old Norse ey and holmr, respectively.
The Chausey Islands south of Jersey are not generally included in
the geographical definition of the Channel Islands but occasionally
described as 'French Channel Islands' in English in view of their
French jurisdiction. They were historically linked to the Duchy of
Normandy, but they are part of the French territory along with
continental Normandy, and not part of the British Isles or of the
Channel Islands in a political sense. They are an incorporated part
of the commune of Granville (Manche), and although popular with
visitors from France, they are rarely visited by Channel Islanders,
as there are no direct transport links from the other islands.
In official Channel Island French (see Jersey Legal French), the
islands are called 'Îles de la Manche', while in France, the term 'Îles
anglo-normandes' (Anglo-Norman isles) is used to refer to the
British 'Channel Islands' in contrast to other islands in the
Channel. Chausey is referred to as an 'Île normande' (as opposed to
anglo-normande). 'Îles Normandes' and 'Archipel Normand' have also,
historically, been used in Channel Island French to refer to the
islands as a whole.
The very large tidal variation provides an environmentally rich
inter-tidal zone around the islands, and some sites have received
Ramsar Convention designation (see Category:Ramsar sites in the
Channel Islands).
The waters around the islands include the following:
The Swinge (between Alderney and Burhou)
The Little Swinge (between Burhou and Les Nannels)
La Déroute (between Jersey and Sark, and Jersey and the Cotentin)
Le Raz Blanchard, or Race of Alderney (between Alderney and the
Cotentin)
The Great Russel (between Sark, Jéthou and Herm)
The Little Russel (between Guernsey, Herm and Jéthou)
Souachehouais (between Le Rigdon and L'Étacq, Jersey)
Le Gouliot (between Sark and Brecqhou)
La Percée (between Herm and Jéthou)
