Abstrakt: This article was propelled by some calls for the enactment of a language policy on an indigenous national language for Ghana. It explores the perspectives of Ghanaian university students on the choice of a Ghanaian language as a national one, using descriptive statistics from a questionnaire survey conducted at the Faculty of Social Sciences, KNUST. The analysis of the survey results on key questions on the subject revealed that there is a place for indigenous language(s), such as Asante Twi, as the national language. However, respondents hold a slightly more positive attitude towards the English language than Ghanaian language(s) in national communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
