Language

The most significant and official language of Togo is French. A place must have a language for people to communicate with one another. Togo uses French for all official communications. The majority of people speak Ewe or Mina, while French is used for administration and documentation. For this reason, children in Togo are first exposed to French in their basic school together with other languages. English is another significant language there in addition to French. English is primarily spoken in Ghana and is taught in secondary education.

France had a firm grip over Togo because it invaded the country and held political authority there for a long period. Because of this, French continues to be a valuable language in the area. Other significant languages in Togo include Adele, Akebu, Bago-Kusuntu, Gbe, Maxi, Lukpa, Konkomba, Adangbe, Ngangam, Moore, Akaselem, Ede Nago, Manigri-Kambole, Ginyanga, Ntcham, Gbe, Western Xwla, Wudu, Ditammari, Anufo, Gourmanchema, Ikposo, Miyo
