A common way to express "X said" in Guernésiais is with the verb s'faire, which literally means "to make oneself". So e.g. i' s'fit literally means "he made himself" but can be used like:
I' s'fit, "Comme tchi qu't'as naom? - He said, "What's your name?"
But the subject pronoun can also be swapped with the verb with no change in meaning:
"J'ai naom Catraenne," s'fit-alle. - "My name is Catherine," she said.
And then the whole verb can be contracted down just to s't:
S't-i', "J'sis lâssaï." - He said, "I'm tired."
"Et mé étout," s't-alle." - "Me too," she said.
You can use it in other tenses and with other subjects as well but they're not as funky.
