Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, located in the English Channel between England and France. It is a British Crown Dependency, meaning it is self-governing but relies on the UK for defense and international representation. The island is known for its beautiful beaches, rolling countryside, and rich history, including its role during World War II. The official language of Jersey is English, but Jèrriais, a Norman dialect, is also spoken by some residents. The island has a diverse economy, with finance, tourism, and agriculture being key sectors. Jersey is famous for its dairy products, particularly Jersey milk, which is rich and creamy.
