  • The Gullah Language
    The Gullah Language The Gullah language is what linguists call an English-based creole language. Creoles arise in the context of trade, colonialism, and slavery when people of diverse backgrounds are thrown together and must forge a common means of communication. According to one view, creole languages are essentially hybrids that blend linguistic influences from a variety of different sources. In the case of Gullah, the vocabulary is largely from the English "target language," the speech of the socially and economically dominant group; but the African "substrate languages" have altered the pronunciation of almost all the English words, influenced the grammar and sentence structure, and provided a sizable minority of the vocabulary. Many early scholars made the mistake of viewing the Gullah language as "broken English," because they failed to recognize the strong underlying influence of African languages. But linguists today view Gullah, and other creoles, as full and complete Sea Island Gullahs, about 1930. languages with their own systematic grammatical structures.

    WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN WATCHES WHO WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN WATCHES WHO I see powerful echoes of what I personally experienced as Director of NSA and CIA. I only wish I had access to this fully developed intellectual framework and the courses of action it suggests while still in government. —General Michael V. Hayden (retired) Former Director of the CIA Director of the NSA e problem of secrecy is double edged and places key institutions and values of our democracy into collision. On the one hand, our country operates under a broad consensus that secrecy is antithetical to democratic rule and can encourage a variety of political deformations. But the obvious pitfalls are not the end of the story. A long list of abuses notwithstanding, secrecy, like openness, remains an essential prerequisite of self-governance. Ross’s study is a welcome and timely addition to the small body of literature examining this important subject. —Gabriel Schoenfeld Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute Author of Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law (W.W. Norton, May 2010). ? ? The topic of unauthorized disclosures continues to receive significant attention at the highest levels of government. In his book, Mr. Ross does an excellent job identifying the categories of harm to the intelligence community associated NI PRESS ROSS GARY with these disclosures. A detailed framework for addressing the issue is also proposed. This book is a must read for those concerned about the implications of unauthorized disclosures to U.S. national security. —William A.

Written by Holabitubbe The Killer of Lies Illustrated by Beakakshush Little Hawk Code Talkers The Code Talkers used their own languages to help the US. Some were soldiers in the Army. Some were Marines. Each of them was a real Native American hero. The story of the Code Talkers begins with WWI. WWI (1914-1918) WWI or World War I is also known as the Great War. This war took place in Europe. It began with an assassination of royalty. But there were already many problems. These problems were the real cause of the war. The French and the Germans were very unhappy. They felt that their countries should have more land. Fighting over land is often the cause of wars. Also, European countries were fighting over land in China and Af- rica. This land already belonged to the Chinese and Africans. But the Eu- ropean countries didn’t care. The United States entered this war on April 6, 1917. Germany was using submarines to sink all ships in the Atlantic Ocean. So the US joined the side of Great Britain and France. The US sent troops to Europe. They also fought in the Middle East. Finally, Germany gave up. They surrendered. It was a terrible war.
