According to the linked page: "The newspaper noted at the end of the 1880's that children in Alderney no longer spoke the Alderney language amongst themselves.
The article states, "It is estimated that there are now possibly only 20 people still fluent in the language."
The article is mistaken! It is Sercquiais (spoken on Sark) which has twenty or fewer speakers left. Auregnais is extinct. I have no idea if this is WP:RS, but you will find many other sources all saying the same-:

The Jade Knight (previous Talk section) queried this article as long ago as 2005. Why is so much of Wikipedia left uncorrected? Not everybody has the confidence to edit, which is why we flag problems on the Talk pages, so that others are aware!

It is obvious that Auregnais was related to Guernésiais, Jèrriais, and Serquois. But how was it related to them? What were its main distinguishing features? From what little material is left, at least something can be said about this dialect, I guess?
