(Redirected from User:PiRSquared17/Sandbox/Merging projects/Akan–Twi)
This page outlines the pros and cons of merging the Akan Wikipedia, which is written in Akan and the Twi Wikipedia, which is written in Twi[1]. The proposal may involve merging other projects or merging all projects in these two languages (Akan and Twi[1]). Please see below.

Proposals[edit]
Proposal 1[edit]
Move all Twi Wikipedia (tw) content to the Akan Wikipedia (ak), and close tw.wikipedia.org. In this sense, the projects will be merged.
Pros of Proposal 1[edit]
- Twi may be considered a dialect of Akan
- Merging projects would make knowledge in these similar languages available to speakers of both
- « [T]here is an "Akan" orthography for writing all the languages called "Akan". »[2]
- "Twi" is sometimes used as a synonym of "Akan". They are extremely similar.
- Several native speakers agree with the proposal (confirmation from a native speaker)
Cons of Proposal 1[edit]
- The "standard Akan" is just an academic proposal and is not actually spoken.[2]
- There are several major dialects. Create one Wikipedia for each. (see proposal 2)

Proposal 2[edit]
Create Wikipedias for each dialect of Akan, on demand. The site "ak.wikipedia.org" could be changed into some kind of static portal between the dialect editions.
