Twi (pronounced [tɕɥi]) or Asante Twi, is spoken by 6–9 million Ashanti people as a first language and second language. Twi (or Asante Twi) is a common name for two former literary dialects of the Akan language, Asante (Ashanti) and Akuapem, which are mutually intelligible.

Twi is a dialect of Akan, a member of the Kwa sub-group of Niger-Congo languages. There are Twi speakers, mainly in Ghana. Major dialects of Twi include Akuapim Twi, Fante Twi and Ashanti Twi, which all mutually intelligible. Akuapim Twi was the first dialect to be used for bible translation, and became the prestige dialect as a result.

Twi dialects are written with a common script developed by the Bureau of Ghana Languages.
