Larteh is spoken 74,000 speakers in Ghana. The Lartehs, AKA Kyiripons, are the main inhabitants of the mountainous parts of the Eastern region of Ghana. Of the Guans {the ethnic group which the Lartehs or the Kyiripons belong} they are the largest tribe and have the most successful language to capture the minds of Ghanaians. Due to the language's ability to adopt the accent of speaking, especially the Akuapem Twi, it is also known as Akuapem. The language is also related to Efutu, Buem, Nkonya, Sene, Belefo, etc. The Larteh towns extend from Larteh, Akropong, Abiriw, Adukrom, Awukugua, Aperede, Aseseeseo, Dawu, Boso, and Anum. Their leader Gyedu Nkansa led the Guans from ancient Sudan through Timbuctu to the present location. As they migrate southward, part remained in present Northern Ghana,they are the Gonjas of Northern Ghana.
