Twi is the most widely spoken literary form of Akan, a Kwa language of Ghana. It is usually divided into Asante Twi (the largest variety, spoken in the historical Ashanti region) and Akuapem Twi (the prestige written form used in much of Ghana's early Akan publishing). Together with Fante, Twi covers around 18 million speakers in Ghana and the diaspora.
Twi uses SVO word order and is mildly agglutinative with subject prefixes on verbs. It has two contrastive tones (high and low) with downstep, and ATR (advanced tongue root) vowel harmony — vowels in a word group together by +ATR or -ATR, written using the special letters Ɛ and Ɔ for the -ATR mid vowels. Pronouns distinguish inclusive 'we' (yɛn) from emphatic forms.
