metadata.value: This paper builds on the renewed interest in preserving the multiethnic origins of the United
  States and recognizing a profound impact of the Black experience on the American nation.
  The article centers on the Gullah language, one of the primary roots of modern African American
  English and the only remaining English-related Creole language in North America. The
  pidgin language, which originally evolved as a medium of communication between slaves
  from various regions of Africa and their owners, is still spoken by Black communities across
  coastal regions of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. While inland African American English
  (AAE) has received much attention in linguistic circles over past decades, relatively little
  research has been done on varieties of AAE spoken in the rural American South. The purpose
  of this paper is to re-examine the origin and history of Gullah and to present a linguistic description
  of its most peculiar features. The Gullah language represents a combination of English
  and Central and West African languages. Geographical isolation, predominance of the
  Black population, and social and economic independence contributed to its development and
  survival. Also, in contrast with inland African Americans, the Gullah Geechee communities
  historically have had little contact with whites. Several folktales written in Gullah have been
  analyzed for discussing its persistent patterns. Characterizing Gullah is important for our increased
  understanding of the origins of AAE. Therefore, the article will be useful for scholars
  interested in Atlantic creoles and in African American and Diaspora Studies.
