here [are] six Ga town.Ga Mashi (Central Accra), the capital, Osu (Chritiansborg), La (Labadi), Teshi, Nungua and Tema. Each of these towns is divided into Akutsei or quarters, and each Akutso is sub-divided into Wei or patrilineal houses. Ga Mashi has seven Akutsei, each with its own Mantse or Chief, whereas the Akutsei of the other Ga towns do not have separate Mantsemei. The Mantsemei of the seven Akutsei of Ga Manshi together with the Mantsemei of the other towns (Osu, La, Teshi, Nungua and Tema) are under a paramount ruler, Ga Mantse, who comes from the Abola quarter (Akutso) of Ga Mashi. The Ga maintain some distinction among themselves by using the names of their towns to describe one another, e.g., the Nungua people are known as Nunguamei as distinct from Lamei or Teshimei. There is a close link between the Ga and their eastern neighbours, the Adanme, comprising Kpone, Prampram, Ningo, Ada, Osudoku, Shai, Yilo and Manya Krobo. The languages spoken by these two groups, Ga and Adanme, are more closely related to each other than any other language. It appears that the two languages originated from one stock. Reindorf acknowledged that Adangbe is âthe mother dialect of the Gaâ.By comparing lexical and grammatical cognate forms (i.e. forms adjudged to be inherited from the common ancestor), M.E. Kropp has been able to establish that, âmodern Ga is the product of a large number of innovations in the hypothetical proto Ga-Adangbe language while Adangbe as a whole has been relatively conservative, that is, modern Adangbe includes few modifications of the phonological and grammatical systems of the proto language.
Apart from the linguistic similarity, other cultural ties, such the importance of priests in the socio-political structure, circumcision, and the specific order of child-naming, characterize the Ga and the Adangbe as being people from a common stock. by @afrogallonism](https://scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/834678161_18632083726062901_4806685856567371547_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_s640x640_tt6&_nc_cat=100&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=tuov9y5lGnQQ7kNvwEiKSSz&_nc_oc=Ado9cPBuxxxwyxLKju8KCrEyZV-C-EWHPqP-bOmKV_WVGv5VaphvxHZSopjjEGweAj38ME2ZqQ9pyPZNXhd1yfgw&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=v8ukEm8eT0aQCD5Xj0u_Bw&_nc_ss=70689&oh=00_AQTilZ-i5a_mn266hZKGhU4X2iKPlJW0i2AOkS77DxxxgQ&oe=6AF13410)
