Ashanti language

Ashanti language, also known as Asante Twi, is a dialect of the Akan languages spoken primarily in Ghana by the Ashanti people. It features a rich system of tones and sounds that convey meaning, along with unique vocabulary and grammatical structures. The language plays a vital role in cultural identity, traditional ceremonies, and daily communication. As a tonal language, the pitch used when pronouncing words can change their meaning. Ashanti language has a written form using Latin script and is taught in schools, preserving its important cultural heritage for future generations.
