Ewe belongs to the Kwa branch of Niger-Congo family of languages. Reduplication extensively
occurs in the Ewe language and forms part of the most common features of the language. Other
features are tone verb serialization and the predominance of basic CV syllable structure in
the language. The lexicon is presented in a dictionary format which generally consists of
listing the word alphabetically and as spelt including its pronunciation grammatical class
meaning and a possible example sentence or phrase in which the word may occur. Linguists might
be predominantly interested in this lexicon as a working tool. Additionally different
populations might see it as a useful reference material namely Ewe readers in general
students of Ewe or simply people interested in the language for practical reasons.
