Sybellah: *Yes, their original language is Twi *Nzema on the other hand, is different from Twi, tho they are both Akan *Yes, there are so many peeps like her....am guilty of tht ... *Non-Ashanti's do speak their own language, but almost all of them can also speak the Twi language too...cuz it's like the 2nd National language after English...to some extend, this contributes to the peaceful atmosphere Ghana has bn enjoying Jus like Miss 3v3 put it 1 Like |

CAMEROONPRIDE: interesting cheiii really this is too much sha maybe some ethnic groups in CIV too ask for money and i am not just aware of it i think for the malinke it's can be more complicated, and since most of them are muslim they require the man to be muslim as well if u r not, u must convert, if u don't, they may disinherit the girl but i guess this happen with all muslim groups |
