[Edling] Seeking AAL Language Policy

[InterpreterMan via Edling]

This is far from my field(s) of expertise, but I studied in South Carolina and I knew two black gentlemen who spoke with regional accents. The older one sounded like an immigrant, but I could understand him. It took me 3 or 4 years to understand the younger man, though. My best guess is that the older gentleman had been on the mainland longer.
Having said that, maybe there's a source in the South Carolina education system that can help you with policies about the Gullah language, if such policies exist:
