Title: Georgia Professor Seeks to Preserve Gullah
Body: Few descendants of Gullah or Geechee people in the southeast U.S. still speak their ancestors' hybrid languages, which were a mixture of English and various African dialects. But a professor at Georgia Southern University hopes to revive interest in the language with projects centered around a collection of 73-year-old recordings of stories and songs in Gullah. It is hoped that the projects, which include the development of National Parks Service cultural centers, will stimulate young people in the region to recognize their local culture and stay nearby rather than relocating around the country.
