LUGARES: Along the Atlantic coast from southeast North Carolina to northern Florida, but concentrated on the Sea Islands and in the cities of Savannah and Charleston (Wolfram, 2021)

LUGARES: Gullahs live along the southeastern U.S. Atlantic coastline, from the northern tip of North Carolina to Jacksonville, Florida; especially in the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia and the bordering mainland low country areas. Some Gullah-speaking black Seminoles were forced out of northern Florida in the 1830s and relocated to central Oklahoma, western Texas, and northern Mexico. (Hopkins, 2006)

ATITUDE DO FALANTE: Past negative stereotypes and misconceptions discouraged some older speakers from passing Gullah on to their descendants, for fear outsiders would ridicule them. Now Gullah functions as a significant marker of culture, history, and identity in the communities where it is spoken. There is a concerted effort to preserve and promote the language and culture through storytelling, Bible translation, heritage tours, music festivals, and other initiatives. (Weldon, 2006)

ATITUDE DO FALANTE: Gullah-Geechee is a living language with an expanding sphere of use in the arts (Ranky Tanky won a Grammy), education (established curriculum at Harvard University), and social media (strong following on Twitter & TikTok). Native speakers now have access to drive the narrative of Gullah-Geechee rather than being described by outsiders. Local schools are incorporating the language and culture more, especially for cultural mediation.
SUPORTE INSTITUCIONAL: Harvard University

LUGARES: Along the U.S. Atlantic low country from North Carolina to to northern Florida, in Texas, and in Mexico.

DESCRIÇÃO DA LOCALIDADE: Components of this language came from the Guinea Coast and Sierra Leone, colonial American English, and Indigenous communities of the region. It is mutually intelligible with Bahamian Creole, due to shared ancestry, particularly of European and African resettlement from South Carolina to the Bahamas in the late 18th century.
