Twi (pronounced [tɕɥi]) or Asante Twi, is a member of the Kwa sub-group of Niger-Congo languages. It is spoken by about 6 to 9 million Ashanti people as a first language and second language. nn Twi (or Asante Twi) is a common name for two former literary dialects of the Akan language, Asante (Ashanti) and Akuapem, which are mutually intelligible. There are about 9 million Twi speakers, mainly in Ashanti Region in south Ghana. Akuapem Twi was the first Akan dialect to be used for Bible translation, and became the prestige dialect as a result. nnThis trilingual application (Twi - French- English) is probably the first of its kind in the world.
