The Gullahs are interesting, and according to my cousin who used to live close to them, pretty annoying. Then again, my cousin isn't the most patient person in the world, or that appreciative of cultural differences.

Oh yeah, the Gullah are interesting. They were featured (kinda) in that terrible Mel Gibson movie The Patriot. At least, I think they were supposed to be Gullah.

i'd never heard the term before and the language is so interesting being a creole of english and african lanuages. i did see the patriot, but i remember being grossed and not liking it. i'm not a fan of mr. gibson.
