Ashante (Asante, Ashanti) is the major dialect of Twi within the Akan language group — the language of the historic Ashanti Kingdom and today the language of Kumasi, Ghana's second-largest city. Around 3 million people speak Ashanti Twi. In the United States Ashante translation work overlaps heavily with broader Ghanaian and Akan translation — civil documents and church records for USCIS family-reunification, alongside academic transcripts being evaluated for US credentialing boards. The Ashanti-American community sits within the wider Ghanaian-American population in the Bronx, Newark, Worcester, and Chicago.
