I cannot access ethnologue as it is paywalled, but the quoted figure of 8.5 million native Ga speakers is very obviously inaccurate. Almost all other sources that I could find give figures around 750 thousand, even Languages of Ghana states that Ga has 745,000 native speakers, citing Ethnologue (2019). Changing the number to 745000 for this reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lfgteam ( talk • contribs) 19:42, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

The Ga Language article was very short so I decided to add a section on the Ga alphabet. Will add some form of pronunciation guide later. After that I'll put up a short grammar of the language.

Recently the following was added to both this article and Gbe languages. I have pulled it out of both articles so that we can discuss it here first.
(end of pulled-out section).
Response. In the books and articles cited in Gbe languages, I did not come across this theory, and obviously the mere coincidence in sound of the language names isn't going to be the kind of evidence such a theory needs. Wikipedia is not the place for original research. On a sidenote, the Gbe languages are classified as Kwa, too, so the languages are indeed distantly related. As far as I know, no African linguist has claimed that Ga-Dangme should be considered one a Gbe language. — mark ✎ 18:43, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
Does this sound similar to the nguy in Nguyen?

The ŋʷ allophone sounds like ng, however, i am not sure i am not sure it has the same sound as ng in nguyen. I have had native Vietnamese pronounce the name with the g silent, which makes it sound like N'uen or Nwen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.152.158.201 ( talk) 16:14, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
