Interview at Gowrie: Language Use in the Upper East Region
Date: September 2001Format: Sound/mp3
The interviewee, who came from the south of Ghana, describes her own background and what languages were spoken by members of the family. Both she and her husband are literate. Her children usually speak Fante to her but Gurene (major Farefari dialect) to their father. The interview was conducted in Gurene, which she spoke fluently. A certain amount of code-mixing with English is observable but this is not unusual in speakers who have been to school.
