Listen "The Gullah Geechee are not just Southern Blacks!"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I discuss the GG and where they are located. I also discuss the process of decreolization that the Gullah language has been experiencing for decades now. Because of decreolization, many GG people, even the in the rural islands, will not be found speaking a Creole that approaches the more basolect forms of English Creole found elsewhere. This has led a lot of people to believe that the Gullah language is essentially the decreolized form promoted online nowadays.
