MP3 New Testametn CD in Akan Asante Language
Language: Akan Asante Version: 1964 United Bible Societies Available Option: New Testament - Drama Akan, or Twi-Fante, is the principal native language of Ghana, spoken over much of the southern half of that country, by about 40% of the population, and to a lesser extent across the border in eastern Côte d'Ivoire. Three dialects have been developed as literary standards with distinct orthographies, Asante, Akuapem (together called Twi), and Fante, which despite being mutually intelligible were inaccessible in written form to speakers of the other standards. In 1978 the Akan Orthography Committee established a common orthography for all of Akan, which is used as the medium of instruction in primary school by speakers of several other Akan languages such as Anyi, Sefwi, Ahanta (but not Nzema), as well as the Guang languages. Asante, or Ashanti, is one of three former literary dialects of the Akan language of southern Ghana, and the prestige dialect of that language. It is spoken in and around Kumasi, the capital of the former Ashanti Empire and current subnational Asante Kingdom within Ghana. Along with the Akuapem dialect, Asante is often called Twi.
