Abla Dzifa GomashieThe government has increased the number of Ghanaian languages with standardised orthographies from 11 to 16, as part of efforts to preserve indigenous languages and produce more reading materials for schools. According to her, the Bureau of Ghana Languages (BGL) has made significant progress under the government’s commitment to restructure and strengthen the institution. Madam Gomashie added that the government plans to standardise three additional Ghanaian languages before the end of 2026. The goal, she said, is to develop standardised languages into textbooks and learning materials for use in schools. Other initiatives include the Ghana Languages Festival, held in July 2025, which used cultural activities to encourage the transmission of Ghanaian languages to younger generations.
