ak language

Hey Jael,

I've seen you request to include the ak-language in CentralNotice targeting before, but I have never managed to find this language in my CN drop down-language selector. Is the language ISO-recognized, is the language available in our projects somewhere, for instance as language option on Wikidata, or for the Mediawiki software? I know my list does not always sync with the most up-to-date lists we see from ISO, our software can be behind on the more recent developments from the last years.

Hey Ciell,

Thanks for reaching out. Just to clarify ak (Akan language) already exists on the wikis Jael28 (talk) 16:39, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, that's already helpful. I read here that we used to have an Akan Wikipedia, but that it was closed in 2023. Also, when I try to switch Mediawiki language in my preferences (which is used to target the banners), there is no Akan available to me. The page on the closure of the wiki mentions that Akan and Twi are the same, and I do have Twi available in my list. Would it be a correct alternative to use Twi in such cases, instead of Akan? Would that also be the alternative that Akan speakers would use? Ciell (talk) 17:25, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes Ciell, Akan and Twi are mostly used interchangeably. Twi is like a subset of Akan but it is the most predominantly used so it's fine Jael28 (talk) 12:47, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
