Twi

Asante Twi is one of the major dialects of Akan, a language spoken widely in Southern Ghana and adjacent partts of Cote d'Ivoire. About two-thirds of Ghana's population speak an Akan language as their mother tongue, including Fante, Akuapim, Akyim, Brong and Sehwi. Because of this majority, speakers of other local languages often learn Twi as a second or third language. In areas like Kumasi, where Twi is the dominant local language, it is used in public primary schools for the first three years, while pupils are learning English.

Let Me Try Little by Little (2006)

We Give Everyone the Same Respect (2006)

My uncle was in Liberia. I went there; someone took me from my father and took me to live there. I was getting to fifteen years old before I came back.
