Ghana+-+a+english+speaking+country

 // The map is found on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Anglospeak.svg // Originally there excised many different ethnic groups in Ghana that obviously also had their own language. These different types of verbal communication are still alive today. It is hard to find an exact number of how many there are because they can’t separate the dialects from the languages, but it is more or less 79 types. To give some examples I can mention Akan, Dagaare, Dagbani, Dangme, Ewe, Ga, Gonja, Kasem and Nzema as important languages which are government-sponsored. The British didn’t come to Ghana before 1400, when the colonisation started. They had to have a common language to be able to communicate with each other. That the British came and put forward English as an official language had a huge significance on how fast the country could develop. Communication is a vital element that has to be present for people to understand each other, that’s why they after 1400 also got the feeling of being one joint population. The French were also having colonies in Africa and is therefore an important language in Ghana, second after English.

The dark blue is where English is a majority language with many native speakers. The lighter blue areas show us the countries where English is the official language, but not the majority. Ghana is, as you can se, coloured light blue. **
