As in many other varieties of English, the pronunciation of the ending -ing in words such as working or fishing varies between velar  and alveolar , the latter form being more informal and possessing less social prestige than the former. There are no indications that an influence from Channel Island French has ever played a role in the realization of -ing. The variable is well established and can be regarded as a general non-standard feature that has also found its way into Channel Island English.
