Twi

Twi ([tɕᶣi]) is the common name of the Akan literary dialects of Asante and Akuapem.

[1] Effectively, it is a synonym for 'Akan' that is not used by the Fante people.

It is not a linguistic grouping, as Akuapem Twi is more closely related to Fante dialect than it is to Asante Twi.

[2] Twi generally subsumes the following Akan dialects: Ahafo, Akuapem, Akyem, Asante, Asen, Bono, Dankyira and Kwawu, which have about 4.4 million speakers in southern and central Ghana.
