Ga-Dangme languages

African Language Families

Ga-Dangme is a branch of the Kwa language family. Ga-Dangme is made up of just two languages, Ga and Dangme, which are closely related and have sometimes been considered as a single language. There are many similarities in the basic vocabulary, but also many words that are different, and grammatical differences, particularly in the verb phrase. Where they differ, Dangme is said to usually be closer to the original Proto-Ga-Dangme than Ga.
