Twi (pronounced 'chwee') is a language spoken in Ghana by about 6 million people. It is a dialect of the Akan language, which in turn belongs to the Kwalanguage family. The Akan language belongs to the Kwa language family. ... The Kwa languages are spoken in the south-eastern part of Côte dIvoire, in Ghana, Togo and Benin, and the south-Western corner of Nigeria. ...
There are many divisions of the Twi languages, but they are all mutually intelligible. The Akan people are noted for their decorative stools and ornaments, and their Kente cloth, which has become a sign of not just Ghanaian but African pride. They also have many symbols, the most well known being the "gye nyame" symbol, meaning except God.
