Bono, also known as Abron or Brong, is a Central Tano language common to the Bono people and closely related to the Akan language. Bono has some mutually intelligibility with Wasa.[2] It is spoken by 1.2 million in Ghana, primarily in the Central Ghanaian region of Brong-Ahafo, and by over 300,000 in eastern Ivory Coast.[3]
