Gullah

Gullah is a unique language and culture developed by the descendants of enslaved Africans brought to the South Carolina and Georgia coasts. It combines West African languages with English, creating a distinctive dialect with its own vocabulary, pronunciation, and expressions. Gullah also encompasses traditional practices, storytelling, music, and crafts that preserve African heritage and history. Today, it serves as an important cultural identity for many Gulf Coast communities, helping to maintain their ancestral roots and cultural traditions amidst modern influences.
