Hi,
I think that the proposal is sensible:
* ak is a macro language code (
https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/aka ), which includes Twi (tw) and Fante (fat). Avoiding macro language codes is in line with our general policy.
* Anecdotally, over the years, lots of people from Ghana told me about their confusion about where they should write, and in which variety.
* Less anecdotally, there has been good activity in the incubator and translatewiki in Fante (fat):
* There are fewer than 600 articles in ak.wikipedia, and it won't be too hard to move the good content to tw.wikipedia.
* There have been no objections on the discussion page since it was created a month ago.
All that said, I have been talking a lot to editors from Ghana in the last few years, and some of them are personal friends, so it's possible I have a conflict of interest or an incomplete understanding of how things work there. Other opinions are welcome.
