I'm emailing the best contributors on the Somalia wikipedia today. I'm not surprised to see they have ove 3k articles in their language. I'm not. Although Akan or Twi is the most local language in Ghana, it has less than 500 articles.
Not because there are no people to contribute to. Just because ....
Maybe people in Somalia are used to reading and writing in Somali unlike in Ghana. You can look for the number of Twi or Akan websites around.
Kasahorow has been doing a good job with the local language articles.

I agree with Ato. Most people that only understand twi a and most of our local languages can't read. But all the same we should try to get some numbers On Mar 31, 2014 10:24 AM, "Enock Seth Nyamador" kwadzo459@gmail.com wrote:
