Bono dialect
Bono, also known as Abron, Brong, and Bono Twi, is a Central Tano language common to the Bono people and a major dialect of the Akan dialect continuum, and thus mutually intelligible with the principal Akan dialects of Fante, Asante, and Akuapem, collectively known as Twi. 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. Relationship with other dialects of Akan. Bono is mutually intelligible with all dialects of Akan, but the degree of intelligibility depends on the geographical distance between the  dialects. Bono is geographically close to Asante, and therefore linguistically close, while a further-away dialect such as Fante is linguistically further as well. Most speakers of Bono are bilingual or bidialectal with Asante. Along with Fante, Bono is the most conservative dialect of Akan, retaining several features, such as the third-person plural pronoun "bɛ", that have since been lost elsewhere in Akan.
