Fanté...
"Fanté is one of the Akan dialects of Ghana (see Twi: Akuapem),
spoken by about 750,000 people living mainly along the western
and central coast, from Takoradi to Winneba.   It is mutually
intelligible with Twi and the other Akan dialects.   A considerable
literature has been developed in Fanté."
