This is a text of one of 3 recordings done in 1955 of a native Gullah speaker telling old animal tales from the Gullah-Geechee culture. It's a beautiful language that too few people know about. The Library of Congress has the original recordings, but I can't find any free access to them, which is a shame. In the '90s I bought the recordings on cassette tape from the LOC. I still have them, but don't know how I can digitize them. But I'll keep trying. The texts at least give a sense of the beauty of the language.
