About the Twi language.
Twi is the most widely spoken language in Ghana. It is a variety of Akan, alongside Fante, and its main written forms are Asante Twi, from the Kumasi area, and Akuapem Twi. It is a Niger-Congo language written in the Latin alphabet, with the letters ɛ and ɔ.
Asante and Akuapem Twi differ in vocabulary and spelling. Tell us where your readers come from and we will match the translator. Akan as a whole, including Fante, has its own page. Ghanaian names are often spelled in more than one way, so we keep them consistent with the passport or other documents you supply.
Ghana's official documents are issued in English. Twi work is usually community and health information, marketing, church material, personal letters and statements, subtitles, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Twi letters and affidavits into English for use in South Africa. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
