Stop the confusion on Twi
[edit]Your continuous removal of Bono from Twi is just mere act of confusion. You claim Twi is synonymous to Akan yet removing Akan dialect of Bono from the article. You claim Twi is a common name for Asante and Akuapem, yet at the same time subsumes dialects of Ahafo, Akuapem, Akyem, Asante, Asen, Dankyira and Kwawu. All these amounts to your confusion of not knowing what Twi is wholly. In what bases did you come into conclusion that Twi is not language yet synonymous to Akan? FYI, Twi consists of dialects of Akwamu, Bono, Asante, Akuapem, Denkyira, Akyem etc Bosomba Amosah (talk) 20:04, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- I used your own sources. If you don't understand your sources, perhaps you should edit a different topic. — kwami (talk) 11:04, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- None of my sources said Bono is not Twi. Perhaps you are making your own assumptions on the table explaining Proto Tano languages Bosomba Amosah (talk) 11:46, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Look, you clearly don't understand your own sources, or the subject matter. You shouldn't edit areas where you're ignorant. — kwami (talk) 20:51, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Clearly you don’t have to remove information with RS. Akuapem and Asante became the first two major Twi to be developed into written forms, meaning there are other Twi as seen here [[2]]. However, Twi is more than that, Twi entails Akuapem, Bono, Akyem, Akwamu, Asante, Denkyira etc as seen here [[3]] Bosomba Amosah (talk) 09:34, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- You need WP:RELIABLE SOURCES for your edits. I don't know how you can still not understand that. — kwami (talk) 21:46, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

East Cushitic languages
[edit]Hi, why did you change East Cushitic languages back to a redirect page to Cushitic languages? I'm afraid I don't understand your comment "rd content mirror". As was now supported with references, East Cushitic is a commonly accepted separate subfamily. I could add more references, but it might be getting excessive. Benji man (talk) 04:47, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- I think it's because Cushitic languages has a more detailed discussion of East Cushitic subclassification, which was the main contents of East Cushitic languages so far. But East Cushitic needs its own page, it's strange that it's the only node in the tree that doesn't have one (e.g. Lowland East Cushitic, which is a more controversial subgroup). Would moving the detailed discussion to East Cushitic help? Benji man (talk) 04:55, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, there was less info on East Cushitic in its own article than on the Cushitic article, so it was redundant.
- The problem is that East Cushitic is itself somewhat controversial, so I'm not sure it would be a good idea to move the content over. But maybe it's become better accepted recently. Certainly if it's uncontroversial now, the classification etc would be better there, as you propose. — kwami (talk) 09:21, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Great! I'll move it over, thanks for your understanding! Benji man (talk) 14:29, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

On mutually intelligible
[edit]You reverted my edits on Bono dialect saying “Dolphyne does not say Bono and Fante are mutually intelligible”. This is incorrect and misinformation as Dolphyne always saids Bono is mutually intelligible with other Akan dialects of Akuapem, Asante, Akyem, Fante etc as seen here (p.88)[[4]]. Check and verify before I go on to my edits Bosomba Amosah (talk) 13:35, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- That's why it's helpful to provide a full reference for your claims.
- The Bono article as currently written reflects Dolphyne. I did now change it from a 'dialect' to 'dialect cluster', as Dolphyne says that Bono is not a single dialect. — kwami (talk) 21:22, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Bono is a dialect not a dialect cluster. Dolphyne conducted the based on grouped towns because of proximity to each other. That doesn’t make it a dialect cluster. This is also the same for all the Akan dialects. For instance, in Fante dialects, Gomoa, Ekumfi, Breman etc varies yet a unified orthography has been chosen. Page 88 saids it is dialect; her research on Akan languages also say it is a dialect. Bosomba Amosah (talk) 11:19, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Chakobo and Pakawara language
[edit]Hello, I saw that you merged the Pakawara language with the Chakobo language article. I wanted to ask, are they the same language? If so, should the merged article not have the name Chakobo-Pakawara language? Thank you in advance. Ruditaly (Talk) 20:48, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Moved. According to Fleck 2013, they're dialects of a single language. — kwami (talk) 00:20, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
