And the town blacks don't really know it, (but) on the old English plantations they say it.
Comment:
Both animate fotto Ningre and inanimate oure English plantasi are preceded by the DEF.PL determiner dem. Plural is never marked morphologically on the noun itself. The 3PL pronoun dem appears in the final part of the example (as the subject of habi).
