📖 Key Information
Gullahs () are a subgroup of African Americans who predominantly live in the Lowcountry region of the U.S. states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, as well as the Sea Islands. Their language and culture have preserved a high volume of Africanisms as a result of their historical geographic isolation.
Historically, the Gullah region extended from the Cape Fear area on North Carolina's coast south to the vicinity of Jacksonville on Florida's coast.
