I just came across this online twi dictionary: https://www.twi.bb/.
I found their dedication very interesting stating that this site is from barbados. An excerpt:
“If we as Bajans, Caribbean people and black Americans are to reconnect to Mother Africa, we must of necessity have dialogue with the sons and daughters of Africa. And when any two people talk they must have a common language in which that dialogue is conducted. Of course there is English, which in the case of Barbados and Ghana is a perfectly suitable medium for communication. However, there are also languages such as Twi, a West African language that has been spoken for centuries in the Gold Coast area, and is still very widely spoken in Ghana today. By making the effort to learn this language and others like it, black people of the diaspora can empower themselves to be able to communicate with our brothers and sisters on the continent, and also to restore some part of what was taken away from us many centuries ago during that crossing of the middle passage. A website teaching Twi would certainly go a long way in making resources available to anyone who wanted to learn the language. It would be free, accessible 24 hours a day, and be tastefully adorned with adinkra symbols and kente motifs to reflect the rich cultural heritage of all Ghana’s Twi-speaking people. (…)”
Me kyea mo!
