\"\"<\/a>Two Ghanaian languages of the Akan stock, Twi and Fante will be added to the different languages that will be printed on census forms for the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The UK population census to be held on March 27, 2011, will include the Twi and Fante languages for Ghanaian immigrants in that country.<\/p>\n

According to the Telegraph<\/a> a UK publication, the census form this year will be printed in 57 different languages including Twi, which is double the number in the last census conducted a decade ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe languages range from Twi, spoken in southern Ghana, to Sinhala, spoken in Sri Lanka\u201d, the Telegraph said on February 24, 2011.<\/p>\n

A Daily Mail report of February 22, 2011 also said the Fante language will also be included.<\/p>\n

The language translations will cost the UK government an amount of \u00a350,000 out of the total cost of \u00a3428million, the Telegraph says.<\/p>\n

Other African languages on the list include Ibo, spoken in Nigeria, Amharic of Ethiopia and Swahili, spoken mostly in East Africa.<\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s Office for National Statistics (ONS) will conduct the census in England and Wales and it will involve around 25 million households.<\/p>\n
