Linguistic considerations

Getting Akan right.

Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a Akan document is accepted or an interpretation session lands correctly.

Dialect & variety

Twi (Asante / Akuapem) and Fante differ meaningfully. We confirm dialect at booking to avoid assigning an Asante speaker to a Fante applicant.
