The Gola or Gula are a tribal people living in western/northwestern Liberia and Eastern Sierra Leone. The Gola language is an isolate within the Niger–Congo language family; in 1991 it was spoken by 200,000 people. Today it's is spoken by about 278,000 people. (2015) Charles Taylor, who ruled Liberia between 1997 and 2003, is of mixed Gola and Americo-Liberian ancestry.〔(Answers.com, "Charles Taylor: Biography" )〕 Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberia's president, is of mixed Gola, Kru and German ancestry.〔(Reed Kramer, "Liberia: Showered With Enthusiasm, Liberia's President-Elect Receives High-Level Reception in Washington", AllAfrica.com, 11 December 2005 )〕〔(Britannica Online Encyclopedia, "Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf" )〕 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. Gola people were the 1st people to reach Liberia. Some early Golas say they say some Dei/Deiwoin people there. ==Sande and Poro== Gola and the Vai people were the 1st people to come up with Poro and Sande societies and it spread to the Kpelle, Mende and much more. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gola people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
