Bono, also known as Abron, Brong, and Bono Twi, is a dialect cluster within the Akan dialect continuum that is spoken by the Bono people.[2][3] Bono is spoken by approximately 1.2 million people in Ghana, primarily in the Bono Region, Bono East Region, and by over 300,000 in eastern Côte d'Ivoire.[4]
The Bible Society of Ghana commenced the translation of the Bono Twi Bible in 2017 and had completed the translation of the 27 books of the New Testament. The overall project will be completed in 2027 with the translation of the Old Testament.[5][6]
