Page "Nafaanra" Paragraph 5

Many Nafana are bilingual in Twi, the regional lingua franca, to some extent.

According to SIL, 50 % of the people are able to " satisfy routine social demands and limited requirements in other domains ", while 20 % are able to speak Twi " with sufficient structural accuracy and vocabulary to participate effectively in most formal and informal conversations on practical, social, and occupational topics ".

The remaining 30 % are either able to maintain only very simple face-to-face conversations on familiar topics ( 15 %) or unable to speak Twi at all ( 15 %).

15 – 25 % of the Nafana people are literate in Twi, whereas only 1 – 5 % are literate in Nafaanra.
