A major West African language group spoken in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, including Twi and Fante as major dialects.
From the Akan people of West Africa. The term encompasses a language family that has been developing for over a thousand years, with Twi becoming the most widely spoken dialect.
Akan is spoken by over 20 million people but most English speakers have never heard of it—showing how world languages get invisible when they're not connected to colonial power.
