STRUCTURE OF LESSONS ON HUNIAH-YOURHIGHNESS TV (LEARN GA & DANGME WITH HUNIAH)


Huniah-Yourhighness Tv officially started November 2021, with the aim to help create a channel for the learning of the Ga language principally. Dangme was later included.

The Ga lessons are highly patronised as compared to its Dangme counterpart. In the future, there is likely to be a revision due to the statistics that would be available then. Many ask how lessons are structured on this channel because they do not seem to follow any order and appear to be scanty.

After careful thought, I decided to use the power of playlist and this blog to help order the lessons.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this fact established, let me help you understand the channel and how to properly navigate your way through to maximise its content for your own benefit. Also, do not forget we need support to grow so sharing, equipment and monetary support are needed.


     THE CONTENTS OF THE CHANNEL

The channel has 5 main groups of videos and they are

  • Ga lessons
  • Dangme lessons
  • Ga short movies
  • Documentaries and History videos
  • General linguistic, entertainment and discussions
Knowing these would help you to properly understand what goes into the channel and how to navigate through what you want exactly

1. Playlists : There are numerous playlists and knowing how to use it would help ease your headache in navigating the videos.

  • When you search Huniah-Yourhighness Tv on YouTube, click on the channel's name.

  • It will take you to the main page on the channel. Find playlist as highlighted in the image below and click on it to get to the playlist page

  • Now that we are on the same page, look at the image below to understand how the lessons have being structured. The Basic Ga lessons are people who are new to this channel and have 0 idea about the Ga language. Usually, they are to start from Ga Basics 1 and climb up.
All learners are to make good use of the description box since it helps the learner have an overview of the lessons at hand and other related lessons to help the learner click on related links to better understand the language.

  • The part labelled ADVANCED GA LESSONS usually contain short movies and sketches to make practicing the language simple and to hear speakers use the language in real life.


THE COMMUNITY TAB
The community tab is my way of communicating with everyone by making posts and announcements. Do check out the community tabs for relevant announcements which might have skipped you.

THE KPELE & KLAMA DEITIES OF THE GA-DANGME PEOPLE OF GHANA

Image
INTRODUCTION (stilll under writing by Huniah Tetteh. All rights reserved) The Ga-Dangme people have inhabited the coast of Ghana for over eight (8) centuries. They speak the Ga and the Dangme languages respectively. Ga and Dangme are closely related languages which have diverged over time due to influences from neighbouring Guan, Akan and Ewe languages; not to forget the grand influence of English, Dutch and Portuguese on these two beautiful languages. Kpele  is the main religion of the Ga-Dangme people. There is the annual celebration of Kpele which is called  Kpelejoo  in Ga and  Kpele domi  in Dangme and they mean the same thing. During Kpelejoo or Kpele domi, spirits are called upon to descend so as to celebrate the end of the year  with mankind. This would definitely come as a shock to you so, we would now take our time to explain vividly, the concept of Kpele and its significance to the Ga-Dangme ethnic group of Ghana and Togo. In the Ga an...

THE COMPLETE LIST OF LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN GHANA

Image
  During my Ghana tour, in writing the book, KNOW GHANA BETTER , I had encounters with several different languages and I thought it wise to share with you all since it may be very necessary. But mind you, this article is copyright protected so please, do not extract this information for selfish gains without seeking permission from the author of the book  KNOW   GHANA   BETTER and the administrator of these Youtube channels, Huniah-Yourhighness Tv and LEARN GUAN WITH HUNIAH. Now, the total list of languages could be debatable for the fact that there are dialects within languages and some dialects could be seperate languages on their own. Thus, in this writeup, I only present the raw facts as I have found them and it is up to the reader to make his/her own judgements. Greater-Accra Region 1. Ga 2. Dangme (dialects: Klogbi (Krobo), Gbugblã (Prampram), Ada gbi) Cental Region 3. Fante (dialects: Gomoa, Agona, T'di Fante, Wassa) 4. Efutu (dialects: Senya, Simpa) 5. Aw...

COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE GUAN PEOPLE AND THEIR LANGUAGES

Image
THE GUANS (This article is directly soucred from my book: Know Ghana Better) The Guans believe themselves to be a subgroup of the Akan tribe (not all of the Guans though). They migrated from Egypt and through several linguistic zones got to Mali. Their territory extended from parts of present day Mali to present day Senegal. They formed clans and the clans were Ndenye, Shuoyi and Le. The clans were formed for purposes of defence and for other linguistic and cultural functions. After some years, a group of Guans who were at present-day Senegal and members of the Shuoyi clan called the Ngbanye set off to Ghana. Perhaps there was a pre-meditated decision by the Ngbanye and the other Guans to find a more suitable settlement. It is also believed that the leader of the Ngbanye sought the assistance of a soothsayer who foretold him that he will be great in a foreign land. This perhaps prompted him to migrate with his people. All the other Guan groups later followed after the Ngbanye had lef...

THE FORGOTTEN GUANS OF GHANA

Image
Guans are one of the widely spread ethnic groups in Ghana. They were mostly known as the Etsiifo, at least, the Fantes called them so. The Fantes said that they came to meet them at  the coastal areas of Ghana. Well, Etsiifo could not only refer to the coastal Guans, that is, the Awutu, Efutu, Krakye, Larteh etc. but then, a rather linguistically diversed group who could have also once occupied the coasts of Ghana.  Those would be the Nyagbo, Tafi and Asebu (who later amalgamated with the Ahantas in the present day Western Region and the remaining Asebu  group would later migrate to Bowire, a town in the Oti Region to amalgamate with the Kpokpaase-Ofo to form the Bowire tribe.) This development has led the Nyagbo, Tafi and Bowire to be referred to as Guans but it is not so. They are at the moment a unique linguistic group called the Ghana-Togo Mountain Languages of which, these Guans, Likpe and Buem, have also amalgamated with them.  To further clarify, indeed the...
