Gullahs () are a subgroup of Black Southerners who predominantly live in the Lowcountry region of the U.S. states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, as well as the Sea Islands. Their language and culture have preserved a high volume of Africanisms as a result of their historical geographic isolation.
Historically, the Gullah region extended from the Cape Fear area on North Carolina's coast south to the vicinity of Jacksonville on Florida's First Coast. Gullahs are also known as Geechees (), which may be derived from the name of the Ogeechee River near Savannah, Georgia. The Georgia communities are distinguished by identifying as either "Freshwater Geechee" or "Saltwater Geechee", depending on whether they live on the mainland or the Sea Islands.
