When I studied in Charleston, SC I had the great fortune of reading
an excellent book on the survival of African linguistic traits in
Gullah with a fairly large lexicon and discussion of phonology.  I
took notes, so if anyone was every interested let me know.  The name
of the book escapes me at the moment.

I've also had the fortune of _hearing_ Gullah.  The deeper you get
the less I understand, but it's definately cool.

Cheers,
Eamon
