@maryy_lisa: Not calling anyone out just starting a conversation. It’s sad how many Ghanaians shy away from speaking our native languages out loud. Somewhere along the way, we were made to feel that speaking English made us “better.” But there’s nothing more powerful than honoring your roots. Asian and Latin cultures proudly preserve their languages across generations so why is it different for us? This is just a reminder that your culture is not something to be embarrassed by. It’s something to pass on 🤝🏾✊🏾❤️ #fypシ #ghanatiktok🇬🇭 #ghanatiktok #ghana #twitiktok #viral

Asantes in particular are constantly abused and derided because of how they value the Twi language. An Asante will always choose Twi over English any day if they can help it. unfortunately, there are small-minded cretins who take delight in mocking Asantes because of how they patronize the Twi language.

They also think it’s “too local” if you don’t have an English name 🤣

The fact is almost 80% of our people born in the west can't speak their original language, not only Ghanaians , most Africans, which is very sad . I've visited almost all the European countries and it's the same. Yet almost all the Chinese, Koreans,Indians, Turkish and other nations in the west born in the west they all speaks their origin tongue 🤷🏿‍♂️It's time to execute mental slavery.

Kids in ghana now are not even being thought their local language because its "cool" when your kids speak english. A lot of these "deebee" kids living in ghana cant speak any local language and if a child does some will say the child is unrefined. Its very sad

Used to be same in the UK,it’s just recently that things are changing, kids used to be embarrassed to speak their language, matter of fact my nickname in school was ‘auntie’ for being too Ghanaian, our minds isn’t that free yet.

We the kumasi guys value our language more than any other thing. Those in other part of Ghana feel embarrassed to speak their language and they will choose English over anything.. Nkurasefoɔ

You guys are so gorgeous 🥰🩷 but I agree the internalized xenophobia without our own culture is crazy. The ones of us born here want to connect while some born there or who come here want to be Americanized Asem oooo

My mom told me that in her school, if you wanted to learn Twi or even spoke it, they would see you as a local person.
