Akuapem, also known as Akuapim, Akwapem Twi, and Akwapi, is one of the principal members of the Akan dialect continuum, along with Bono and Asante, with which it is collectively known as Twi, and Fante, with which it is mutually intelligible.[2][3][4] There are 626,000 speakers of Akuapem, mainly concentrated in Ghana and southeastern Cote D'Ivoire.[2] It is the historical literary and prestige dialect of Akan, having been chosen as the basis of the Akan translation of the Bible.[4][5]
