The Gullah Language mende, which accounts for most of the African passages collected by Turner, language already widely spoken among the indigenous peoples along the coast. http://www.yale.edu/glc/gullah/06.htm
Extractions: Introduction Contents Bibliography About the Author ... NEXT Sea Island Gullahs, about 1930. P.E.H. Hair, a British historian, later published a review of Dr. Turner's work in which he noted that Sierra Leone languages have made a "major contribution" to the development of the Gullah language. Dr. Hair pointed to the "astonishing" fact that all of the African texts known to be preserved by the Gullah are in languages spoken in Sierra Leone. Mende, which accounts for most of the African passages collected by Turner, is spoken almost entirely in Sierra Leone, while Vai and the specific dialect of Fula are found on the borders with Liberia and Guinea. But Dr. Hair also noted that a "remarkably large proportion" of the four thousand African personal names and loanwords in the Gullah language come from Sierra Leone. He calculated that twenty-five percent of the African names and twenty percent of the African vocabulary words are from Sierra Leonean languages, principally Mende and Vai. Dr. Hair concluded that South Carolina and Georgia is the only place in the Americas where Sierra Leonean languages have exerted "anything like" this degree of influence. The Gullahs' African personal names and African vocabulary words include many items that are familiar in Sierra Leone today. The Gullah have drawn their African nicknames from various sources, including African first, or given, names; clan names; and the African tribal names of their ancestors. They use the masculine names Bala, Sorie, Salifu, Jah, and Lomboi; and the feminine names Mariama, Fatu, Hawa, and Jilo. The Gullah also use as nicknames the clan names Bangura, Kalawa, Sesay, Sankoh, Marah, Koroma, and Bah; and the Sierra Leonean tribal names Limba, Loko, Yalunka, Susu, Kissi, and Kono. Gullah loanwords from Sierra Leonean languages, used in everyday speech, include:

Extractions: FACT SHEET: The Republic of Sierra Leone at a Glance Background European contacts with Sierra Leone were among the first in West Africa. In 1652, the first slaves in North America were brought from Sierra Leone to the Sea Islands off the coast of the southern United States. During the 1700s there was a thriving trade bringing slaves from Sierra Leone to the plantations of South Carolina and Georgia where their rice-farming skills made them particularly valuable. In 1787 the British helped 400 freed slaves from the United States, Nova Scotia, and Great Britain return to Sierra Leone to settle in what they called the "Province of Freedom." Disease and hostility from the indigenous people nearly eliminated the first returnees. This settlement was joined by other groups of freed slaves and soon became known as Freetown. In 1792, Freetown became one of Britain's first colonies in West Africa. Thousands of slaves were returned to or liberated in Freetown. Most chose to remain in Sierra Leone. These returned Africans, or Krio as they came to be called, were from all areas of Africa. Cut off from their homes and traditions by the experience of slavery, they assimilated some aspects of British styles of life and built a flourishing trade on the West African coast.

Extractions: By Claudia Zaslavsky The mathematics eduction community in the United States is embarking upon a program to reach all students. As stated in the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM): "It is crucial that conscious efforts be made to encourage all students, especially young women and minorities, to pursue mathematics." (p.68) Recognition is given to the varied backgrounds and interests of the students: "Students should have numerous and varied experiences related to the cultural, historical and scientific evolution of mathematics. (p. 5) Students' cultural backgrounds should be integrated into the learning experiences. (p.68) "The ethnic groups that have lived longest in the Americas and who have been most oppressed are the Native peoples and the Africans who were brought to the New World in chains, to serve as slaves to European plantation owners. Now their descendants are determined to reassert their cultural heritage."
