Subj: Re: ?how to learn Gullah

I believe the Gullah "language" originated in or around South
Carolina, and the islands nearby. Perhaps a phone book from that area,
with a list of bookstores would help. I wrote a paper on the language
in the 70's, if I remember correctly, most of my sources, were
magazine articles. Did you try an encyclopedia? Then checking their
sources?

My patron's teacher is reading a book set on the Sea Islands to her
class. Bits of the book are in Gullah. My young patron is interested
in getting a book or tape on learning Gullah. I tried the Illinois
state database, but found only weighty tomes that seemed to be more on
the history and development of Gullah as opposed to a "Conversational
Gullah in 7 Days" sorta thing.

Do any East coast w*mb*ts have a hint for me?
