Twi ([tɕᶣi]) is the common name of theAkan literary dialects ofAsante andAkuapem.[1]Effectively, it is a synonym for 'Akan' that is not used by theFante people. It is not a linguistic grouping, as Akuapem Twi is more closely related toFante dialect than it is to Asante Twi.[2]Twi generally subsumes the following Akan dialects: Ahafo, Akuapem,Akyem, Asante, Asen,Bono, Dankyira andKwawu, which have about 4.4 million speakers in southern and centralGhana.[3][4][5]
