It is a major dialect within the Akan dialect continuum and is mutually intelligible with Asante and Akuapem, collectively referred to as Twi.[2][3] Bono is spoken by approximately 1.2 million people in Ghana, primarily in the Bono Region, Bono East Region, and by over 300,000 in eastern Côte d'Ivoire.[4]
