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.

"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."

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.
