Twi (/tʃwiː, twiː, tʃiː/; Twi: [tɕᶣi]) is a synonym for the Akan language that is not used by the Fante people. As the name of a literary language, it may be either of the former literary standards, Asante or Akuapem; more broadly, it is applied to most if not all non-Fante dialects of Akan, including Ahafo, Akuapem, Akyem, Asante, Assin, Bono, Denkyira and Kwawu. Despite having an ISO code, it is not a linguistic grouping.
