Ghana Twi Language and Culture

Twi is a major language of Ghana, and speaking it is deeply intertwined with the culture of the Akan people, especially the Ashanti. The language is tonal, using pitch to change word meanings, and its proverbs, storytelling, and oral traditions are integral to cultural identity and unity. Learning Twi is a way to connect with this rich heritage and is increasingly popular as both a means of communication and a link to national identity.
