Too often when we think of "native" or "indigenous" languages in the US we think of only one type--the languages that were spoken and signed in the country before European contact. In this talk we'll explore 5 creole variations that are indigenous to the US: Gullah Geechee, African American English, Louisiana Creole, Louisiana French, and Boricua Spanish. We'll explore their roots and cultures, play translation pub quizzes, and finally talk about how the language learning community can support and empower their speakers.
