Ewe is a Gbe language of the Niger-Congo family, spoken in the southern half of Togo and across the Volta Region of southeastern Ghana. Estimates put the number of speakers at around five million, with more using it as a second language in both countries. It is a tonal language written in the Latin alphabet with a few additional letters, and it has a standard written form used in schools, churches and broadcasting, particularly in Ghana. Ewe is closely related to other Gbe languages such as Fon in Benin and Gen, often called Mina, in Togo, and speakers along the coast frequently understand more than one of them. In Togo, Ewe is one of the two national languages alongside Kabiye, and it serves as a lingua franca in the south of the country.
