What to know before you translate

About Twi

Ghana — around 20 million including second-language speakers. Writing system: Latin alphabet with ɛ and ɔ.

  • Tonal, with meaning carried by pitch as well as sound.
  • ɛ and ɔ are separate vowels from e and o.
  • Day-names (Kwame, Akosua) come from the Twi week and are still in daily use.

How accurate is it?

Translations are produced by an AI model, so treat long or legal text as a draft and check it with a speaker. Short everyday sentences — greetings, directions, family talk — are where it is strongest, and the pronunciation guide is written for English readers. Lesson audio is AI pronunciation audio, not a recording of a native speaker.
