Afro-Seminole Creole is an English-based creole spoken by Black Seminoles in scattered communities in Oklahoma, Texas, and Northern Mexico. Speakers of Afro-Seminole Creole live in Seminole County, Oklahoma and Brackettville, Texas in the United States and in Nacimiento de los Negros, Coahuila, in Mexico. There are about 200 speakers of the language. Afro-Seminole Creole is related to the Gullah language, a creole spoken in the coastal region and Sea Islands of the U.S. states of South Carolina and Georgia.
