EWE IS AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE, HERE IS WHY?

Ewe Is An International Language, Here Is Why?


Ewe is the official mother language being spoken by the good and lovely people of the Volta Region in Ghana, West Africa. It has about 4.5 million speaking Ghanaians.

Ewe is one of the most leading and accepted languages which can confidently and comfortably sit among the first three major languages in Ghana. It races with Akan and Ga.

It is being taught in schools; from pre-school, nursing, kindergarten, primary, junior and secondary, as well as tertiary levels across the nation.

Ewe, aside, being widely spoken in Ghana, the pleasing to ear language has crossed the borders and shores of Ghana to other Africa and European countries.

It is on this fertile and solid ground that there is no room for an argument of why Ewe should not be an international language. Ewe has always been an international language since time memorial but just that this aspect is unknown to many.

Now, here’s why Ewe, the most popular language among the Ghanaian citizens is an international language by all standards.

Take a ride with me King Fred Noamesi as your Ewe educationist today.
