Gullah Culture - Edisto Island

Gullah Traditions of the South Carolina Coast

Gullah dialect still spoken in South Carolina

The Gullah language is rooted in West African dialects, woven together from several tribes who were brought to the coastal South. It became a shared way to communicate. A blend of English and African languages that carried both survival and identity. A code outsiders couldn’t understand, but one that kept culture, memory, and connection alive. We are proud to continue to share the Gullah language with the next generation. What would you like to learn about Gullah culture next? #blufftonsc #hilto
