What are the predominant languages in Ghana?
Around 80 languages are spoken in Ghana—a country the size of Oregon. The official language is English, although in reality English is usually the second or third language learned by Ghanaians. The first language a Ghanaian learns is their own tribal language. The second language learned is usually Twi—the most predominant tribal language in the country. When a child enters into school (or at around age 3) English is introduced. As adults, most Ghanaians speak at least 3 languages semi-fluently.
