You're great grandmother was an amazing woman! You have an enormous family! There are really 100 grandchildren? How many children did she have? Congratulations on an incredible family history. You must be very proud!
Here come all of the moorish nationalists ready to lay claims to the islands. Wish I could go to Sierra Leon, Ghana, or Nigeria. I'm so tired of the us and all of these fraudulent ppl. I love this video
the first settlers of charleston were actually from bardados :). this is actually my grandmothers church on Johns Island with is actually named after St. Johns Parish in Barbados. i grew up on Johns Island but live in Miami now and I'm constantly mistaken for being west indian
I am so behind... and to think I could have been very fluent with this..... I grew up around others way up north that were elders of the church and as they spoke ro us we thought it was just their being old... proper english was drilled into us. We were told as children that and thus deprived of that part of our cultur.... and here I am over thirty years later trying to pick up where I ignorantly left off.... any help would be much appreciated
Better to say "african american" English. You rarely hear black people talking like this outside of America unless they're imitating black culture from here.
"Black English" is American Black English. Then you also have many varieties of African English. Also Philippino English, Singlish (Singapore), Indian English; even Vietnamese English (where I live). Then we have Scot's English, Irish English, Australian, Cockney -- well do you see? There is not only one English.
Look at my BEAUTIFUL great grandma, Janie Hunter!!!! I love you soooo much...RIP Granny....forever you will live in my heart!!!!!

Gulluh sounds like a mixture of Bajan(Barbados) & Southern U.S. English. Cool :)

Found this while researching Lorenzo Dow Turner and looking for recorded examples of the Gullah language. Thanks for posting.
4:40 he harmonizes like an African. It's beautiful!
@triciasworld04 That's your great grandma?! That's so amazing! She is beautiful.
I came here to blast off.. now I leave humbled and repentant after that comment, have to say. Well positioned.
this sounds like the Barbadian accent, and I think its because alot of slaves in south Carolina come from barbados.
