The Central Tano or Akan languages are a pair of dialect clusters of the Niger-Congo family (or perhaps the theorised Kwa languages)[1] spoken in Ghana and Ivory Coast by the Akan people.
There are two or three languages, each with dialects that are sometimes treated as languages themselves:[2][3]
- Akanic (primarily in Ghana and East-central Ivory coast (Bono))
- Bia (primarily in Ivory Coast and Western Ghana)
All have written forms in the Latin script.
