I bet you can't read this without smiling.

It's a language called "Gullah" and it's spoken by african americans off the islands of georgia and south carolina. it's english based, and has alot of creole and african language influences.

I think it's really fun to read.

here's a link to the Gullah "Nyew Testament" lol

try reading it out loud without smiling. it's too fun.

"De people beena listen ta wa Jedus say. E been mos ta Jerusalem now, an dey beena tink say dat dey gwine see God come down an rule tareckly. So den, Jedus tell um one paable. E say, "One time one man wa fom a king fambly beena gwine ta a country faa way fa leh dem mek um king an den e gwine come back home gin. Fo de man lef, e call ten ob e wokman dem an gim each a gole coin. E tell um say, 'See hommuch ya kin mek wid dis money fo A come back.'"

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
