"This book presents in a relatively non-technical language, a comprehensive discussion of the sound systems and tonal structure of the languages as a whole, pointing out the differences between the major dialects, and explaining the rationale for the United Akan Orhography. The last chapter summarises the major decisions of the Akan Orthography Committee on the United Akan Orthography.'

This is the first book I bought that deals with the Akan Language [outside of Abibitumi Kasa's bookstore, support the bookstore!]. I've had it for about a week, and I read from it everyday. Although, it may seem a bit technical at times, it is a Blacknificent tool/resource to have. I've learned the more time I spend/focus/dedicate to studying the material, the less technical it becomes [duh, lol]. Personally, it has brought me some much needed clarity in several areas. For example, stem words, vowel harmony, tongue placement, kwk. [to name a few, its only been a week!!!]
