	Anlo language
		Anlo (IPA: Aŋlo) is a dialect of the Ewe language.
		Clements (1977) argues that the R tone is a case of tonal split caused by 'reanalysis of downstepped tone sequences as sequences of tones on distinct tone levels' (p 168).
		Anlo (along with some other Gbe languages) is also the subject of ongoing research into the origin of Haitian creole languages (see Gbe languages for more info).

	Language
		Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
		Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.
		A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.

	Four tones and downtrend - -
		The existence of languages with multiple tone levels raises some interesting questions with respect to pitch realization, the nature of the (phonetic) tonal space, and the phonological specification of tone.
		As the name suggests, terracing languages show a stepping or staircase phenomenon, this effect typically resulting from downstep; and as the name implies for discrete level languages, each tone has its own space which in principle does not impinge on other the space of other tones.
		Though there are other languages in the general area having four and even five tone levels, nearby and (presumed) closely related languages have either three or two tones.

		Firstly, that the language of the government was not the language of the people, and ergo, that French, even as a second language, had fallen out of fashion and remained the language of only a few.

		Equivocation by chance occurs infrequently in the everyday use of language.
		That one and the same word should have such strange ambiguity can often be explained in terms of the history of the language, but sometimes no explanation can be found.
		For example: the word "pen" is use equivocally by chance when it is used to name, on the one hand, an enclosure for pigs and, on the other hand, a writing instrument.

		She found Anlo medicine to be more secretive than she had expected, so she worked with midwives and found her interactions with them raising questions about “how we know what we know.”
		In Anlo speaking culture, after a woman carries a baby in her womb for nine months, she is expected to strap it to her back to balance out her body.
		Seselelame can also be translated as “‘hearing in the body’—in part because Anlo language is tonal and requires the discrimination between different pitches to understand what someone is saying, Geurts explains.

		Geurts discovered that the five-senses model has little relevance in Anlo culture, where balance is a sense, and balancing (in a physical and psychological sense as well as in literal and metaphorical ways) is an essential component of what it means to be human.
		Much of perception falls into an Anlo category of seselelame (literally feel-feel-at-flesh-inside), in which what might be considered sensory input, including the Western sixth-sense notion of "intuition," comes from bodily feeling and the interior milieu.
		Geurts relates how Anlo society privileges and elaborates what we would call kinesthesia, which most Americans would not even identify as a sense.

		Though French is the country's official language, about half of its people speak or understand Ewé, and the second most widely spoken African language is Kabyé.

		Drawing on her extensive fieldwork, early European accounts, and missionary archives and publications, she shows how ideas from outside forced sacred and spiritual meanings associated with particular bodies of water, burial sites, sacred towns, and the human body itself to change in favor of more scientific and regulatory views.
		Anlo responses to these colonial ideas involved considerable resistance, and, over time, the Anlo began to attribute selective, varied, and often contradictory meanings to the body and the spaces they inhabited.
		Despite these multiple meanings, Greene shows that the Anlo were successful in forging a consensus on how to manage their identity, environment, and community.

		I tried to use the long greeting which I found very difficult like the rest of the Anlo-Ewe language but I never perfected it so I was always scolded by the elder members of my adopted family, the Ladzepkos.
		Presently the day after burial is also used to receive donations to the funeral budget.

		Agbekor is an Anlo-Ewe war music formally called "Atamga" meaning the great oath- -the oath that the ancestors took before they went to war to defend their tribe.
		The information from my father had barely sunk in when the Headmaster of Anyako Anlo Awoame Fia Middle School, Mr Charles Hialege Ayikutu, surprised me. He asked me to organize and teach "Agbekor" music and dance to the students.

		While informal and prospective students sing the syllables at their leisure like solfeggio to learn and remember the music, veteran drummers may sing them, tap them out on their drum or on the supporting drummers' shoulder during a performance to refresh their memory.
		Each African culture has its own styles of music and the language of the culture influences the music and the rhythmic syntax.

		In the process of collecting information, I conducted a number of interviews, collected and read through a number of journal articals and books, and met multiple times with Professor Darkwah in the sociology department at the University of Ghana- Legon.
		While I did progress and acquire a basic grasp of the Ewe language, I wish I could have done better; I think that having access to more Ewe language materials prior to leaving and during the stay would be of great assistance to future interns.
		As the first intern, I also experienced the outcome of some degree of confusion and miscommunication between the University of Iowa and the FTI regarding the direction of the internship.
