Crucian Word (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798375250724)

The Culture, Food, Language and Struggles of St. Croix People
Volume 1

Probably the most popular word in Crucian dialect is "Yah," which means here. Yah is the shortened form of the Danish one-syllable word, "hyah," which means here. Remember, most slaves were from West Africa, and simply could not imitate certain sounds in Danish or English. Therefore, pronunciations, combined with African idioms, plus the culture of seven different entities, make the Crucian dialect unique, and as wonderful as "man soup" on The Bayside: everything is included!
