Language Guide (Gonja Version)
The Gonja language which is spoken by the Gonjas is quite distinct from all the languages in the Northern and Upper Regions. It is rather akin to some languages in the South, particularly, the Guang languages.
Gonja-speaking area covers more than one third of the Northern Region. It shares boundaries with the Brong-Ahafo and Volta Region in the South, and the Dagombas, the Mamprussis and the Walas in the North.
Gonja is a tonal language and changes in meaning are brought about by tonal differences. It is to be noted that most questions end on a falling tone.
This booklet is intended to guide people who are not yet proficient in Gonja.
All persons learning Gonja will find that the Gonjas have the tendency to elide vowels and slur consonants. Final vowels are always elided before other vowels, and often before words beginning with consonants.

A Li Nɔ Nɛ Ba Puɔ Nɔ (Dangme)
A Li Nɔ Nɛ Ba Puɔ Nɔ is a Dangme expression meaning no one knows his benefactor.
The story is about a couple who went to settle in a neighbouring village to work. But, as if by design, they neither found life easier there.
Not long after they had settled, the wife died of a very serious disease which was a taboo to the fetish of their host clan. How the widower was faced with the problems of pacifying the clan, and caring for their only child, forms the core of the novel.
The eventual reward of his toils and sweat in educating this child did not, however, fail to materialise.

Ajesiwɔ (Dangme)
Ajesiwɔ is a story of a girl who is pawned to a wealthy woman trader called Yokpa. But the name Ajesiwɔ literally means ‘They have gone and left us.’
Yokpa is a get-rich-quick woman who offers the spirit of her maid, Ajesiwɔ, to the Goddess of Wealth, known as Akpaso.
Fortunately for Ajesiwɔ the goddess is not able to overpower her spirit and Yokpa becomes unhappy. She, therefore, makes Ajesiwɔ suffer other hardships and humiliations.
Finally, however, Providence works for Ajesiwɔ — she is given a rare opportunity to study medicine overseas. On her return, Yokpa is one of her first patients to be treated.
