Talk:Languages of Ghana

message: A few quick ideas:
*Should this section be renamed somehow? Is this the operant term? I ask as in some countries it is more a matter of legal status (e.g., as "national languages") or government recognition. Sponsorship almost implies a kind of active support and cultivation - if this is what is meant then fine.
*Another possible title, if needed, could be something like:
**"Government recognized languages"
**"National languages"
**Or some configuration that discusses languages under different categories of government/official recognition/support and initiatives by educational authorities, research institutions and NGOs
*Another heading that might be useful is "Language policy and planning." This could either stand alone or have the "Government sponsored..." and "Education..." headings muved under it as subheadings. Or something ... but language policy/planning is an essential topic
*Another heading (and eventually a separate page?) should be Bureau of Ghana Languages
I'm pretty certain that government-sponsored is the term used in Ghana, hence its use here. I think the idea is that the government is prepared to put some money towards them, via the Bureau, but they are certainly not national or even official languages in the way that those terms are normally used. But I'm prepared to be corrected! If you think other sections should be added, please go ahead and do it. I wrote to the limits of my knowledge. Gailtb 04:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Government-sponsored languages" &c 

message: I changed the initial paragraph to lead off with three key facts: the country is multilingual, the official language is English (this was previously the lead), and the most widely spoken language is Akan. I believe this gives readers a more helpful initial picture. This also involved splitting the original paragraph into two.--A12n (talk) 18:30, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
