Akan is a tone language. This simply means there can be two or more words that are spelled the same way, but have different meanings — and the only way to tell them apart is by the tone with which they are pronounced.
Today’s lesson is the second in our series on TONE IN TWI.
In the first lesson, we introduced the concept of tone in Twi and how it affects meaning. In this lesson, I will walk you through the different tones of Twi, and the tone markers commonly used to indicate them.
