Tidewater Creole

Tidewater Creoles are descendants of Atlantic Creoles that were brought to the Piedmont, Coastal Plains, and Sandhills regions of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and sometimes this includes early Black or Gullah Geechee and mixed race arrivals to Florida.

Some of the Tidewater Creoles have begun self identifying with the term "Qarsherskiyan" since the term was created in 1991 for Tidewater Creole descendants and multigenerationally mixed race families that do not already belong to a named Triracial Isolate group, meaning this does not include Melungeons, Lumbees, or Chestnut Ridge People.

Sweetgum Creole

The Sweetgum Creole, also spelled Sweetgum Kriyul more often, are a large group of Creole people of West African, Western and Northern European, and Native American descent. Many have genetic ties to the Yoruba people of West Africa and to the Cherokee and Sioux Indigenous American people.

The Sweetgum Creole are divided into several tribes such as Ethnic Qarsherskiyan, Lumbee, Melungeon, Chestnut Ridge People, Carmel Indians of Ohio, and others. Chestnut Ridge People and the Carmel Indians of Ohio have been categorized as a sub-group of the Melungeon tribe. Ethnic Qarsherskiyan people and the Lumbee people are separate Sweetgum Kriyul tribes with their own heritage and cultures.

Hawaii Creole

Hawai'i Creole (or Hawai‘i Creole English) is usually called "Pidgin" in Hawai'i. It has a rich linguistic history based on the need for a common language among a diverse group of people who spoke different languages. It also has a dark side based on plantation domination and American English hegemony.

Hawai‘i Creole speakers have mixed feelings about the creole. Hawai‘i Creole has often been denigrated as a sub-standard form of English. But with the efforts of local linguists and writers, people are now beginning to realize that the creole is a language separate from, but similar in appearance to, English.

Hawai‘i Creole can be heard on the playgrounds and in neighborhood conversations. It can also be heard on a few radio programs and in some advertising. On rare occasions, Hawai‘i Creole is heard in more formalized situations, such as on the legislative floor and in the classroom. However, English and Hawaiian are the official languages of the legislature and standardized English is the official medium of instruction in the school system.
