Twi (pronounced [tɕɥi]) or Ashanti Twi, is spoken by over 9 million ethnic Ashanti people as a first language and second language. Twi (or Ashanti Twi) is a common name for two former literary dialects of the Akan language, Asante (Ashanti) and Akuapem, which are mutually intelligible. There are about 9 million Twi speakers, mainly in Ashanti Region, Ghana. Akuapem Twi was the first Akan dialect to be used for Bible translation, and became the prestige dialect as a result.
