Swahili and Yoruba included in the analysis. Again, Ghanaian languages are conspicuously absent, and performance on the few included African languages is found to be poor.

@mzzcandles @moorekwesi It is a mix. When we started it was heavy on Akuapem, but now it is heavy on Asante, I.e., it will be mostly Asante but you might see Akuapem sometimes Once we are able to create enough data in each dialect separately we will be able to create a separate mode for each
