Language - Twi

Twi is an African language spoken in the southern two-thirds of Ghana. Like most languages spoken south of the Sahara, Twi is a tone language. Akuapim Twi became the prestige dialect because it was the first dialect to be used for Bible translation. Fante Twi and Ashanti Twi are also spoken by a large population. All dialects of Twi are mutually intelligible. They are written by a common script developed by the Bureau of Ghana Languages.

Twi is the predominant language of the African republic of Ghana (although that country's official language is English) and is part of the Akan language group. Twi, along with the closely-related Fanti, is spoken by about 6 million people in the forested area west of the Volta river, especially in and around Accra, the Ghanaian capital.
