Did you know?

In many Twi-speaking contexts, the Gregorian calendar months like Ayɛwohomumɔ are used alongside traditional Akan lunar cycles for different social purposes.
In Twi, names for months are often much more literal than English names, which are usually derived from Roman gods or emperors.
While Ayɛwohomumɔ is the formal Twi name, many Ghanaians simply use the English word 'June' in daily conversation due to the influence of English as an official language.

Akwaaba! My name is Hugh. I've found a unique passion in studying Twi, the beautiful and rich language of Ghana. When I am not immersed in the world of linguistics, you'll probably find me exploring Ghanaian culture, marveling at the intricate patterns of Kente cloth or experimenting with the delicious flavors of banku and okro stew. My other interests include hiking and bird watching, as inspired by the unique biodiversity of Ghana. Wo ho te sɛn? I hope it's as great as mine because of our shared interest in Twi. Yɛbɛhyia bio! ("We'll meet again!")
