Modern GaDangme Language Resources

Ga is the language of the peoples of Accra in Ghana. Dangme is a closely related variant.

Towards the end of 2012, we decided to find out how quickly we could build resources for a language. We picked Ga and Dangme because they are closely related, and we could readily find speakers. In other words, given the enthusiasm of a language volunteer, how quickly could we set up their language with a keyboard, and a dictionary?

It turns out the answer was "pretty quickly." Within a month, we had a functional GaDangme keyboard and dictionary!

Writing Convention
Modern GaDangme is a simpler spelling system for Ga and Dangme.
