The Gullahs are an African-American ethnic group who live primarily in the Lowcountry region of the United States. States of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina, Coastal Plains and Sea Islands.

The Gullah Geechee people are descendants of Africans who were enslaved to Sea Island's rice, indigo and cotton plantations on the Low Atlantic Coast. Many came from the rice region of West Africa. The enslaved nature on isolated islands and coastal plantations created a unique culture with deep African roots that are clearly visible in the distinctive arts, crafts, food habits, music and language of the Gullah Geechee people.

The Gullah Geechee is a unique Creole language spoken in the coastal areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The Gullah Geechee language began as a simplified form of communication between people who spoke many different languages, including European slave traders, slave owners and various African ethnic groups. Vocabulary and grammatical roots come from African and European languages. It's the only distinctly African Creole language in the United States and it has influenced traditional Southern vocabulary and speech patterns.
