Gola (ethnic group)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gola or Gula are a tribal people living in western Liberia and parts of eastern Sierra Leone. The Gola language is part of the Southern branch of the West Atlantic language family; as of 1991, it is spoken by approximately 107,000 persons.
Charles Taylor, who ruled Liberia between 1997 and 2003, was of mixed Gola and Americo-Liberian ancestry.
The name Gola is a possible source for the name of the Gullah, a people of African origin living on the islands and coastal regions of Georgia and South Carolina, in the southeastern United States.
