ReplyDeleteFor the question 1 about Togo:
In Togo it's the ewe mina kabye languages and many other ethical languages that should normally be the most widely spoken, unfortunately we don't speak Nirlendais. But French and English are the most widely spoken languages because we were colonized by Great Britain and France, but it's France that has stayed in the capital the longest, which is why we speak more French in the capital, and as for English, Great Britain was settled on the Volta side, which today is a part of Togo that borders Ghana. Thank you 😊
It is me Jonathan 😁
ReplyDeleteAnswering the third question, I don't think that Togo's geographical situation has an influence on the plurality of the regions practiced in Togo. If we take the case of Benin or Gabon, even they have several religions, but is this really influenced by their geographical position, I don't think so. Rather, this plurality can be explained by the fact that in the past, our ancestors worshipped the gods and were therefore animists, often referred to as "VODOU", as we say so well in Africa. So animism was the first religion, then came Christianity and then Islam, so we can even say that there isn't such a great plurality of religions apart if we go deeper into each religion. Thanks 😊

ReplyDeleteIt would be very difficult for me to answer the second question because it is not too explicit if you can reformulate it in a better way it would be better. Thank you
