Gullah is a Creole language spoken by the Gullah people (also called "Geechees" within the community), an African-American population living in coastal regions of South Carolina and Georgia (including urban Charleston and Savannah) as well as extreme northeastern Florida and the extreme southeast of North Carolina. Gullah is based on different varieties of English and languages of Central Africa and West Africa.
The Gullah Geechee people are descendants of Africans who were enslaved on the rice, indigo, and Sea Island cotton plantations of the lower Atlantic coast. Many came from the rice-growing region of West Africa. The nature of their enslavement on isolated islands and coastal plantations created a unique culture with deep African retentions that are clearly visible in the Gullah Geechee people’s distinctive arts, crafts, foodways, music, and language.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
As a person of Gullah descent who's a couple generations seperated from the culture down south I really appreciate when people bring attention to our culture & help to educate people about it
Gullah sounds like a Nigerian man speaking English and pidgin mixed with how black Southern sound.
One of my favorite things about being Gullah is the sense of connection with other people of the African diaspora. When I'm around Nigerians, Jamaicans, Bajans, etc I always have this sense of kinship cuz they remind me of my own family
The Gullah language encompasses the whole diaspora in one. I love being Gullah 🖤💙💚💛
*sounds
I never knew until I look it up...but I use to get told that I reminded someone of Sierra Lione every time I open my mouth... they have a WEST AFRICAN KRIOL almost identical to our Sea Island Creole
None of this sounds like the accent you hear when in Charleston
Proud Lowcountry Geechee ya!!
Gullah is very contextual and solid culturally. On acoustic voice's sounds re-echoes jamaican plus bahamian plus nigerian mixin american and africans pidigns with southerneastern and southwestern phonevocal sound and speech echo.
Sometimes echoes too central seminole kriol english too.
Gullah is the real integration of kriol afro continental english with with carrinean afro english too in action and history.
I have some gullah geechee stock. Thank you for this!
Anyone here remember the show Gullah Gullah Island?
I think it's just you and me dude
It was my favourite show growing up
Finally! A Gullah video! I love it!! ❤
All creoles are beautiful. 😍💚
Very informative video thanks.
You should do a video about the Caribbean French creole spoken in Haiti, St Lucia, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Trinidad and Martinique just to name a few
This channel works on volunteers so if you know anybody that speaks these languages/creole ask em too check the description too contact em.
Come and lets play together in the bright sunny weather. Lets all go to Gullah, Gullah Island
1:47-4:43 from the other youtube videos of the Gullah language it seems the speakers had a more profound or stronger similar Anglophone Caribbean accent.
Deh numbuhs started as.... Go, Didi, Tati, Nai, Joi these are numbers from the Fulani Number system...eventually we started using english mo' eh mo
Bless up mi gullah geechee famlee and tank gawd fa mi culta
Maravilhosa a cultura deste lugar..lindo demais.
Brasil ama estes idiomas.
You should do a broad Southern American Dialect, such as the english used in the original song of Oh Susanna or Mr. Stonesipher from Django Uncjained
White Anglophone Canadian: A Few of the individual words surprised me on their own at the beginning of the video, But once they were spoken in a sentence (Didn't look at my screen). I could understand nearly everything spoken.
I speak with a rural variety of non rhotic Southern accent native to around the same area and they is some obvious Gullah influences on our speech regardless of ethnicity for example our pronouncing of seven and eleven as "sebum" and "elebum"
Amazing ... as someone from the Uk I can understand about 80% of this without looking at the text. Nice rythymycal language
They're speaking really slowly, I guess it's not their dominant language
Welcome to the Gullah
I had no idea this language existed and probably wouldn't have ever known. It sounds like English but you can't make out any of the words so if i ever heard it i would just assume my language compression was fucky as it can be sometimes. A very fascinating language indeed
About twenty-six years ago, I met up with this young lady who was from South Carolina. I'm a North Carolinian myself, and we met in Virginia. When she spoke I had to listen very carefully. I had never heard an accent like that before in my entire life I thought she was from Jamaica at first.
Sounds beautiful. Love Creole languages. There are English French Spanish and Portuguese Creole languages
Very interesting, I speak regular american english and can understand this perfectly when spoken out loud, but when written looks completely foreign
I'm curious how she creates the small individuals on the left side of the screen
Is it me or does it sound very Caribbean? Don’t get me wrong I know different islands have their own accents but it sounds similar ?
There is a close relationship between Gullah & other Black people in the Americas. I don't even have a Gullah accent but I've had people from the Caribbean ask me where I'm from thinking I'm from the islands or something like that lol
Closet is Bahamian
I'm from the Charleston, SC area and people not from the area always think I'm from the Caribbean.
@shenglongisback4688 You're absolutely right about that! Bahamian Creole is closest to Gullah, hands down!
@@geecheegary thank you for your reply...
I just listened too the tone n that
That is the closet creole that in my mind matches.
Im glad that it is still spoken :)
❤❤❤
For Sierra Leone this sounds like a sort of divergent Krio with a weird accent. Understood everything...
Please do Azorean Portuguese
Gullah geeche english is african english, one of many proves thats hodiern english is a mixed lang, with in a mixed base celtic neolatine idiom.
no offense intended, but how is Gullah geechee or sea people creole different then broken English ebonics.
I’m studying kouri-Vini or Louisiana Creole right now and stumbled on Gullah creole thinking that it was related.
Ebonics? You mean African American English, that’s a dialect not broken English. And Gullah Creole is an English Creole not a French Creole like Louisana Creole
Only 300 fluent? It's always dangerous to be a minority language in an Anglophone country it seems.
It is bit more complicated than that. The language wasn't encouraged to be spoken for so long, so a lot of people got away from speaking it in public
@@geecheegaryYes.. my family got away from speaking it and some even deny being Gullah despite much evidence to the contrary. They still retained the accent and other parts of the culture though.
Gullah was the first group and most in South Carolina and they were from Angola 🇦🇴 not west Africa
You Slow
WRONG! MANY of them African roots go back to Sengambia (Senegal)
They from West, Central and South Africa.. Yes from WEST Africa.. Stop making the claim that they weren’t from the West.
they seem forgotten
Noooo weouchea...we now have a dictionary...a Nu Tesement Bibo... you can even take our language Sea Island Creole as a Language course in Harvard University...
Talking makes their teeth crack?
🤣🤣🤣
Gullah Allah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gullag language
