The home language of most of the elite of this ethnic group is a tongue that linguist Ian Hancock calls vernacular Liberian English. Local terms for it are not favored by people who speak it, and some Americo Liberians attempt to suppress its use at home because it is often regarded as "bad English." It has been suggested that this vernacular is a descendant of a form of black English developed in the American south in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Brought to Liberia by the settlers, some of whom spoke standard American English, this variety of black English has been affected by standard Liberian English and by the African languages and pidgins spoken by the peoples with whom the settlers and their descendants came into contact.

Extractions: THE PROJECT THE COLLECTIONS INFORMATION SEARCH ... News Updates General Geography, Culture, and Economy The Republic of Liberia lies on the western coast of Africa. It is bordered by Sierra Leone to the northwest, Guinea to the north, and Cote dIvoire to the east. It is roughly the size of the state of Tennessee, Monrovia is the capital, and the population is nearing 3.3 million. There are three main linguistic groups in Liberia: the Mande, Kwa, and Mel. Two thirds of the population is Christian, one seventh is Muslim, and one fifth hold traditional beliefs, though many people honor beliefs originating in more than one religious tradition. Before the country fell back into civil war in 1989, Liberias market economy relied heavily on agriculture and iron ore exports. Rubber, coffee, and cacao were the principle cash crops. Timber and mining were also important to the countrys economy. return to top History of the Republic, 1822-1940s

Extractions: There also are sizable numbers of Lebanese, Indians, and other West African nationals who make up a significant part of Liberia's business community. Because of the 1989-1996 civil war and its accompanying problem of insecurity, the number of Westerners in Liberia is low and confined largely to Monrovia and its immediate surroundings. The Liberian constitution restricts citizenship only to people of Negro descent. Liberia was traditionally noted for its hospitality and academic institutions, iron mining and rubber industry booms, and cultural skills and arts and craft works. But political upheavals beginning in the 1980s and the brutal 7-year civil war (1989-1996) brought about a steep decline in the living standards of the country, including its education and infrastructure.

Obituary Language and Communication Of the varieties of English spoken in Liberia, the most prestigious is standard Liberian English, used in formal political speeches, in the print and broadcast media, and at all levels of the education system.

Extractions: A brief background and history of African Music Music and Dance Dance, music, and story-telling are among the ancient art forms that have flourished for many centuries in Africa. Music and dance are terms that we will use to denote musical practices of African people. Ancient African society did not separate their every day life activities from their music and other cultural experience. Stone (1998) attests to the difficulty of separating music from the cultural context as she says: Oral traditions African people traditionally and in the modern day have a rich oral tradition that insures the passage of cultural practices from one generation to another. Scholars such as Malmusi, 1990; Rycroft,1962, Stone,1982 argue that oral literature and music are intimately connected in most parts of Africa and are often impossible to separate (Shelemany in Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicans , 2001). Listening has been an important skill that has been perfected by oral traditional practices. A number of African musical songs and dances were and are still transmitted from one generation or group to another by word of mouth.
