| Tut "language," like many
other secret or code "languages," is an interesting sociolinguistic
phenomenon, worthy of scholarly study as a part of the general consideration
of vernacular cryptolinguistic devices. Given its apparent origins
in African-American culture, Tut must also be considered, broadly
speaking, as a part of African-American English. |

| ...thought provoking and visually
intriguing lexicon, Tut language. With pleasure I am adding it to
our black studies collection. |

-"A must read. I found out at one of the author's
speaking engagements that not only black, but white people spoke
this language having no idea, in some cases, where the language
had originated. This book is a must read. It is a link to
our American history. A piece of the big puzzle. I
had a great time reading this book and listening to the tape with
my kids. I would recommend this as a must read to anyone,
