Twi is one of the most widely spoken languages in Ghana, used by millions of people across the Ashanti, Akuapem, Akyem, Fante, and Bono communities, as well as by a growing diaspora in the UK, USA, Canada, and Europe. It is a language with a long written tradition, a rich oral heritage, and a cultural identity expressed through Adinkra symbols, festivals, and the Akan naming system.
The Language Roots Hub Twi Wall Calendar 2027 puts all twelve months of the year in the Akan language. Each month carries its traditional Twi name. Each page marks Ghana’s public holidays in three languages. And each month is themed around one of the Adinkra symbols that the Akan people have used for centuries to communicate wisdom, identity, and values.

The Adinkra Symbols
Adinkra are visual symbols created by the Akan people of Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. Each symbol carries a proverb or a concept: wisdom, endurance, love, return, adaptability. They appear on fabric, jewelry, architecture, and everyday objects. Incorporating one symbol per month in this calendar gives each month a cultural theme that goes beyond dates and holidays. It is a small way to keep Akan visual culture present in everyday life throughout the year.
Three Festivals Marked in the Calendar
Odwira is an annual purification and thanksgiving festival observed by many Akan communities, usually in September or October. Bakatue is a fishing festival celebrated in Elmina, marking the opening of the Benya Lagoon for fishing after a period of prohibition. Aboakyir is the deer-hunting festival of the Efutu people in Winneba, one of the oldest festivals in Ghana. All three are noted in this calendar with enough context to understand their significance.
Who Is This For?
It is for Twi-speaking families in Ghana and the diaspora who want their language in the home throughout the year. It works well for Akan community groups, churches with Twi congregations, schools in Ashanti, Akuapem, or Fante areas, researchers studying Akan language and culture, and anyone who wants to mark 2027 in a language that carries genuine weight and history.
