- Description : Avatime (also called Siyase or Sideme) is one of a group of languages called Togo Remnant, Central Togo or preferably Ghana-Togo Mountain (GTM). These languages are usually classified as Kwa, Niger-Congo. Avatime is most closely related to Tafi and Nyangbo. Avatime is spoken in eight villages in the Volta Region of Ghana by approximately 10,000 speakers. The language is bordered to the west by Tafi and Nyangbo, to the north by Logba and to the east and south by Ewe. Ewe is the dominant language in the region. Most Avatime speakers also speak Ewe and those who have been to school speak English too. Ewe is mainly used in the first years of primary school, in church and to a certain extent on the market. English is used in the higher years of school. In events where important non-Avatimes are present, Ewe and English are used. Radio and television programmes are usually in English or Akan, and sometimes in Ewe. Avatime is mainly spoken in domestic and traditional domains of use.
