My name is Huniah Tetteh. I am a self-taught linguist and African cultural/Ghanaian cultural activist. I aim to promote the learning of Ghanaian languages, especially those that I am good at. The Ga-Dangme languages, the Guan languages and the Akan languages. It is my aim to Create a very comprehensive course for the study of the Ga, Dangme and Guan languages using YouTube mainly as a tool Write enough books in Ghanaian languages and make them accessible since Ghanaian languages do not have enough learning materials Get my brand international and use the influence to market Ghanaian languages Be able to encourage the learning of Ghanaian languages among Ghanaians and even be able to create businesses that would be centred around Ghanaian languages For 3 years, I have come far and am glad about the level I have attained. People also reach out to me for tourism services due to the fact that many companies overprice their services. I have considered the fact that I am still learning and travelling with someone who wishes to know a new place is a plus for me, so - I do not price the tourist any amount rather the tourist pays my transportation to the place of visit

THE COMPLETE LIST OF LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN GHANA

Image
  During my Ghana tour in writing the book, KNOW GHANA BETTER , I had encounters with several different languages and I thought it wise to share with you all since it may be very necessary. But mind you, this article is copyright protected so please, do not extract this information for selfish gains without seeking permission from the author of the book  KNOW   GHANA   BETTER and the administrator of these Youtube channels, Huniah-Yourhighness Tv and DISCOVER GUANS WITH HUNIAH . Now, the total list of languages could be debatable for the fact that there are dialects within languages and some dialects could be seperate languages on their own. Thus, in this writeup, I only present the raw facts as I have found them and it is up to the reader to make his/her own judgements. Greater-Accra Region 1. Ga 2. Dangme (dialects: Klogbi (Krobo), Gbugblã (Prampram), Ada gbi) Cental Region 3. Fante (dialects: Gomoa, Agona, T'di Fante, Wassa) 4. Efutu (dialects: Senya, Simpa) ...

STRUCTURE OF LESSONS ON HUNIAH-YOURHIGHNESS TV (LEARN GA & DANGME WITH HUNIAH)

Image
Huniah-Yourhighness Tv officially started November 2021, with the aim to help create a channel for the learning of the Ga language principally. Dangme was later included. The Ga lessons are highly patronised as compared to its Dangme counterpart. In the future, there is likely to be a revision due to the statistics that would be available then. Many ask how lessons are structured on this channel because they do not seem to follow any order and appear to be scanty. After careful thought, I decided to use the power of playlist and this blog to help order the lessons. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- With this fact established, let me help you understand the channel and how to properly navigate your way through to maximise its content for your own benefit. Also, do not forget we need support to grow so sharing, equipment and monetary support are needed.       THE CONTENTS OF THE CHANNEL The channel has 5  main groups of videos ...

The Ga Language: The Heartbeat of Accra

Image
The Ga Language: The Heartbeat of Accra By Huniah Tetteh When you walk through the streets of Accra, you’ll hear the sounds of many tongues. But one language in particular carries the soul of the city and that is the Gã language. It’s more than just a language. It’s a living piece of history, a symbol of identity, and a rich cultural legacy passed down through generations. In this post, we explore the fascinating world of the Ga language — where it comes from, who speaks it, and why it still matters today. --- Ga is one of the major indigenous languages of Ghana, spoken mainly by the Ga people who live in and around Accra. It’s part of the Kwa branch of the Niger-Congo language family — one of the largest language families in Africa. While Ga is closely related to Dangme, the two are not mutually intelligible. Together, they form the Ga–Dangme group, a linguistic reflection of the Ga-Dangme people’s shared heritage. --- 🗺️ Where Is Ga Spoken? Ga is spoken primarily in: Jamestown Osu L...

THE GUR LANGUAGES OF NORTHERN GHANA

Image
                                                                                                                (At the Tamale-Gurugu fire festival) The Gurs migrated from several places. They are found within the Northern parts of Ghana, Togo, Burkina Faso and the Ivory Coast. In Burkina Faso, they form the majority of the people. The Mossi language is the most widely spoken Gur language in Burkina Faso. They speak different but related languages. Their languages extend as far as into all the neighbouring countries bordering Ghana. Most of their languages are not well known and called small languages because they are spoken in very small towns with very few populations including Kamara, Vagla, Safalba...

COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE GUAN PEOPLE AND THEIR LANGUAGES

Image
THE GUANS (This article is directly sourced from my book: Know Ghana Better) The Guans believe themselves to be a branched family with the Akan tribe (not all of the Guans though). They migrated from Egypt and through several linguistic zones got to Mali. Their territory extended from parts of present day Mali to present day Senegal. They formed clans and the clans were Ndenye, Shuoyi and Le. The clans were formed for purposes of defence and for other linguistic and cultural functions. After some years, a group of Guans who were at present-day Senegal and members of the Shuoyi clan called the Ngbanye set off to Ghana. Perhaps there was a pre-meditated decision by the Ngbanye and the other Guans to find a more suitable settlement. It is also believed that the leader of the Ngbanye sought the assistance of a soothsayer who foretold him that he will be great in a foreign land. This perhaps prompted him to migrate with his people. All the other Guan groups later followed after the Ngbany...

THE ACCRA ZOO (ACHIMOTA ECOLOGOCAL GARDENS)

Image
 The Accra zoo which used to be situated at Kanda experienced management issues for which it was announced that the zoo was being moved to Kumasi so to allow for innovations. Well, after the long wait, the Accra Zoological Gardens has been move to Achimota hence the Achimota Ecological Park is its new name. The zoo lies 1700m deep within the Achimota Forest with poles mounted to direct people entering the zoo. Well, monitor lizards as well as snakes walk freely in the zoo but that does not mean they attack people using the pathway to the zoo. There are monkeys, crocodiles, lions, snakes, different species of birds, deers, antelopes etc all in the zoo. There are hopes to expand the zoo to include more animals. It is worth paying a visit to the zoo so to help management raise more money to help expand it.
