Title: Seeking a good Twi-English dictionary-gctid259641
Post by: Heru Djet on Dec 17, 2017, 03:31 AM
Can anyone recommend a good Twi-English dictionary? I have Kasahorow's dictionary, but I'm wondering if there's a better product to be had.

Meda wo ase.

Medase. I know that this is a good one. How different is the orthography in this book in comparison to the "modern" or standard Akan orthography?

I did want a physical book however, and would definitely appreciate some suggestions in that vein as well.

I am not too sure on the orthography compared to "modern" orthography.  I think it might be difficult to find in hard copy. Probably going to be very expensive as well.
