What to know before you translate

About Yoruba

Nigeria, Benin, Togo, and a large diaspora in Brazil, Cuba and the USaround 45 million. Writing system: Latin alphabet with tone marks and sub-dot letters (ẹ, ọ, ṣ).

  • Yoruba is tonal: high, mid and low tones change meaning, so the accent marks are not decoration.
  • Greetings are age- and time-specific — ẹ káàrọ̀ in the morning, ẹ káàsán in the afternoon.
  • The dotted letters ẹ, ọ and ṣ are separate sounds from e, o and s.

About Twi

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

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.
