Gullah

Tom is a native Gullah speaker.

Gullah is an English-based creole language spoken by a community of Black Americans on the coast and islands of South Carolina and Georgia.

I'm from North Carolina. I'm Gullah, and I speak Gullah and English.

Gullah has been spoken continuously since before the Civil War.

The music of George Gershwin’s Porgie and Bess was inspired in part by Gullah "shouts".
