Ewe Canadian Cultural Association of Ontario Claimed

Ewe Canadian Cultural Association of Ontario. The Ewe people inhabit the Volta Region of Ghana and the southern halves of Togo and Benin in West Africa. The Ewe Canadian Cultural Organization of Ontario (ECCOO) a non-profit organization was founded in 1993 and incorporated in August of 1994.

Ewe is a tribal language spoken by the Ewe tribes with about 3 million speakers in Ghana, Togo and Benin.

The Ewe is a tonal language with four tones; a rising tone marked by an accute (é), a falling tone marked by a grave accent (è), a falling-rising tone marked by a caron accent (?) and a rising-falling accent marked by circumflex accent (ê). However, the tones are not always marked.

Although the Ewe has been described as a single language group, there are considerable dialectic variations. Some of these dialects are mutually understood, but sometimes with difficulty.
