About this title

Synopsis

Gullah is both the name of a people and the name of the language these people speak. This language obtained Creole status during the mid 1700s and was learned and used by the second generation of African Americans as their mother tongue.

Gulluh Fuh Oonuh is an alphabetical collection of Gullah words and phrases and offers tips on pronunciation. The guide is a valuable tool for students and researchers wanting to learn more about the Gullah language.

About the Author

She wrote and taught courses on the language, published poetry, books and recordings in Gullah and served as a Gullah consultant for several broadcasting and television companies.
