Learn how to speak Ewe
Ewe is a Niger–Congo language
spoken in southeastern Ghana by over three million people.
Ewe is part of a cluster of related languages commonly
called Gbe; the other major Gbe language is Fon of Benin.
Like many African languages, Ewe is tonal.
The German Africanist Diedrich Hermann Westermann published
many dictionaries and grammars of Ewe and several other Gbe
languages. Other linguists who have worked on Ewe and
closely related languages include Gilbert Ansre (tone,
syntax), Herbert Stahlke (morphology, tone), Nick Clements
(tone, syntax), Roberto Pazzi (anthropology, lexicography),
Felix K. Ameka (semantics, cognitive linguistics), Alan
Stewart Duthie (semantics, phonetics), Hounkpati B. Capo
(phonology, phonetics), Enoch Aboh (syntax), and Chris
Collins (syntax).
