1. Bolig:<\/strong>\u00a0Ghanas befolkning bor hovedsakelig langs kysten og i de to st\u00f8rste byene Accra (hovedstaden) og Kumasi.<\/p>\n

2. V\u00e6r og klima:<\/strong>\u00a0Klimaet i Ghana er tropisk, men temperaturene varierer etter \u00e5rstid og h\u00f8yde over havet. Det er to regntider; april til juli og september til november. Dette gjelder imidlertid ikke i den nordlige delen av landet, der det bare er \u00e9n regntid, som starter i april og slutter i september. I de fleste deler av landet er temperaturen h\u00f8yest i mars og lavest i august.<\/p>\n

3. Kvinner:<\/strong>\u00a0Ghanesiske kvinner er ikke redde for \u00e5 vise frem kurvene sine; enten de er tynne, tykke eller kraftig bygget, bruker de alltid stramme kl\u00e6r ved festlige anledninger.<\/p>\n

4. Harmattan:<\/strong>\u00a0Et annet spesielt v\u00e6rfenomen i Ghana er den t\u00f8rre \u00f8rkenvinden Harmattan. Den bl\u00e5ser fra desember til mars og senker luftfuktigheten, noe som gir varme dager og kj\u00f8lige netter i nord. I s\u00f8r merker man effekten av vinden i januar.<\/p>\n

5. Kakao:<\/strong>\u00a0Ghana er verdens tredje st\u00f8rste produsent av kakaob\u00f8nner og st\u00e5r for ca. 20% av verdensproduksjonen. Andre viktige landbruksprodukter i landet er ris, pean\u00f8tter, mais, bananer og kassava (maniok).<\/p>\n

Fakta: Voltasj\u00f8en i Ghana er verdens st\u00f8rste kunstige innsj\u00f8. Den ble dannet ved \u00e5 demme opp Volta-elven i 1965.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Voltasj\u00f8en:<\/strong>\u00a0Voltasj\u00f8en i Ghana er verdens st\u00f8rste kunstige innsj\u00f8 m\u00e5lt i areal. M\u00e5lt i volum er innsj\u00f8en den fjerde st\u00f8rste i verden. Innsj\u00f8en ble dannet da Volta-elven ble demmet opp ved Akosombo-dammen i 1965.<\/p>\n

7. Spr\u00e5k:<\/strong>\u00a0Engelsk er det offisielle spr\u00e5ket i Ghana og landets lingua franca. Rundt 90% av befolkningen snakker engelsk. I tillegg kommer de afrikanske spr\u00e5kene, som best\u00e5r av mer enn 70 ulike dialekter, ettersom det finnes mer enn 70 ulike stammer i landet. 11 av landets spr\u00e5k er statsst\u00f8ttet, noe som betyr at det utgis diverse lesestoff p\u00e5 disse spr\u00e5kene. De 11 spr\u00e5kene er alle niger-kordofanspr\u00e5k, og hele befolkningen snakker minst ett spr\u00e5k fra denne spr\u00e5kfamilien.<\/p>\n

8. Nabolandene:<\/strong>\u00a0Selv om Ghana er et engelskspr\u00e5klig land, er alle nabolandene - Elfenbenskysten, Burkina Faso og Togo - franskspr\u00e5klige. For ghanesere er fransk derfor det nest viktigste europeiske spr\u00e5ket (etter engelsk).<\/p>\n

9. Gullkysten:<\/strong>\u00a0Omr\u00e5det som tilsvarer dagens Ghana var opprinnelig utelukkende bebodd av afrikanere, men p\u00e5 slutten av 1400-tallet kom portugisiske handelsmenn til omr\u00e5det. De etablerte den portugisiske gullkysten, og kort tid etter kom nederlenderne og etablerte den nederlandske gullkysten. P\u00e5 midten av 1700-tallet kom ogs\u00e5 svenskene (den svenske gullkysten) og danskene (den danske gullkysten eller Dansk Guinea). Senere fulgte britene og tyskerne etter. Britene kjempet mot den lokale Ashanti-kongen i til sammen rundt 100 \u00e5r og ble etter hvert den st\u00f8rste makten i landet. I 1901 ble den britiske gullkysten landets offisielle navn.<\/p>\n

10. Ghanas utdanning:<\/strong>\u00a0Gullkysten ble selvstendig 6. mars 1957 under statsminister Kwame Nkrumah og skiftet umiddelbart navn til Ghana. Nkrumah ble Ghanas f\u00f8rste president i 1960. Han satt som president frem til 1966, da han ble avsatt i et milit\u00e6rkupp. Fra da av og frem til 1990-tallet var landet preget av ustabilitet og flere statskupp, men siden midten av 1990-tallet har det v\u00e6rt en viss politisk ro i Ghana.<\/p>\n

Fort Christiansborg (\u00f8verst) var ett av to danske fort p\u00e5 den danske gullkysten. Elmina Castle (nederst) var ett av flere portugisiske fort p\u00e5 den portugisiske gullkysten. Fort Christiansborg ble solgt til britene da slaveriet ble avskaffet. I dag heter fortet Osu Castle og er sete for den ghanesiske regjeringen.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
