Ghanaian and Nigerian Englishes belong to the West African cluster of Englishes. These countries have similar colonial and postcolonial influences and experiences. English spoken in these regions share striking similarities but also differ in many aspects. Unfortunately, few studies explore comparative linguistics in New Englishes in general, and Ghanaian and Nigerian Englishes in particular. This work thus adds to extant literature on the phonological similarities and differences between Ghanaian and Nigerian Englishes and attempts to explain the reasons for these.
