    As someone fascinated by all creole languages and cultures, especially micro regional ones, Gullah is a forgotten and rich gem. It pops up in watered down version in pop Southern culture (e.g. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou) as the old Southern version of a "Fortunate Son"-esque touchpoint, but the reality is much more interesting. Turns out, if you mostly geographically isolate people on barrier islands, they develop a unique culture. See also Tangier Island off Virginia. Vice News did a Gullah segment: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SqDTJogdWmA&t=22s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SqDTJogdWmA&t=22s And here's some spoken word: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iCd5W4gwJsI&t=12m6s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iCd5W4gwJsI&t=12m6s

        The article in the GP comment directly mentions the Gulah language though

  Not to get political, but based on his record of joined/written opinions, I'm not convinced he needs any questions answered to decide on how he's going to vote on any incoming cases.
