I've lived in Geechee territory. The language is beautiful. The accent is hard to process till you get used to it. The people are amazing 🥰

How does South Carolina have sole claim to represent the accent if all Geechee people? The Ogeechee river doesn't even flow there. My people are if the sea islands(20,000+) of Georgia named after the Ogeechee river and the Gullah wars that took place and don't sound like her.

I've got first cousins who grew up on Wadmalaw Island, SC. Through them, I got to know a lot of really nice people on that Island. Now, it's being gentrified.☹️

It’s not an indigenous language.

And I love that I sound like this. People always get mixed up with Jamaican lol not realizing it’s his own language when people hear it.

I’ve been building buildings in Atlanta, Georgia for 20 years plus and I went to Charleston for a year to build a condo in Mount Pleasant and the black folks that work for me sounded just like that and nothing like black folks from Atlanta

I hate this ahistorical shit so much. You look like an idiot. Geechee culture is preserved motherland culture.

The Geeche language is a product of slavery

It's Portuguese English. Anyone who's heard old portuguese women talk knows where her accent came from.

What are you talking about. It’s a direct result of slavery.
