Nafaanra (sometimes written Nafaara, pronounced) is a Senufo language spoken in northwest Ghana, along the border with Cote d'Ivoire, east of Bondouko.
It is somewhat of an outlier in the Senufo language group, with the geographically closest relatives, the Southern Senufo Tagwana-Djimini languages, approximately 200 kilometres to the west, on the other side of Comoué National Park.
Nafaanra /h/ most probably corresponds to the glottal consonant most other Senufo languages have, either in the form of a glottal stop /{{IPAʔ;}}/ (Supyire, Senari, Karaboro) or a glottal fricative /h/ (Mamara).

 On Language And Development In Africa: The Case of Ghana
Taking the language situation in Ghana as a case study, a model of development communication and education termed localized trilingualism is proposed; a model, it is believed, will enable Africa to harness its multilingual resources for accelerated and sustainable socio-cultural, economic and technological development in the 21st century.
But an important element of language, however is that, it is also culture-specific: each language is systematically different from others in the sense that it has a particular way of arranging the signs that encode meaning, and of communicating the world to its speaker.
English, though foreign to Ghana, is one of the most important languages in the country; it has been used as an official language since the country was colonized by the British and still enjoys an overwhelming position as the language of education and of mass communication vis a vis the indigenous Ghanaian languages.
