Editing Gen language (section)

== History ==
The Gen-Mina originated from [[Accra]] and [[Elmina]] in Ghana. The Mina from Elmina migrated because of the [[Denkyira]] wars of aggression, while the Gen came over from Accra after their defeat in the [[Akwamu people|Akwamu]] wars. The two groups intermingled with the indigenous [[Ewe people|Ewe]], resulting in their Ewe dialect having words borrowed from [[Fante language|Fanti]], [[Ga language|Ga-Adangbe]] and various European languages.{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}}

The Gen language is [[mutually intelligible]] with Ewe and is considered to be one of the many dialects of Ewe.{{Citation needed|date=June 2022}}

There were 476,000 Gen-speakers in Togo in 2019, and 144,000 in Benin in 2021.<ref name=e26/>
