They speak Twi, a Kwa language of the Niger–Congo family, and are a subgroup of the Akan peoples. The Asante established settlements in the region and were joined by others in the 16th century, with their influence extending into parts of present-day Togo and Côte d’Ivoire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"African Angel Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57300035993760,"sku":"AA03915","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0541\/0829\/1232\/files\/AA03915.jpg?v=1779862795","url":"https:\/\/www.africanangelart.com\/products\/aa03915","provider":"African Angel Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
