Ashanti people
Ashanti, or Asante, or Asanti , are a nation and ethnic group native to Ashanti and the Kingdom of Ashanti situated on the semi-island exclave Ashantiland, who speak the Ashanti language and indistinguishable Ashanti Twi.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ashanti » Ashanti Twi (Less Commonly Taught Languages) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ashanti » Ashanti Twi )〕 Ashanti language is spoken by over 9 million ethnic Ashanti people as a first language and second language.〔〔 The word ''Ashanti'' is an English language misnomer and ''Asanti'' is the correct Ashanti Twi. Asanti literally means "because of wars" (Asa - wars; Nti- because()).〔 The wealthy gold-rich Ashanti people developed a large and influential empire; the Ashanti Empire along the Lake Volta and Gulf of Guinea.〔 The Ashanti people rich in gold later developed the powerful Ashanti Confederacy or Ashanti Empire (now Ashanti autonomous region) and became the dominant presence on the Gulf of Guinea region.〔
The Ashanti kingdom was founded in 1670 and the Ashanti capital Kumasi was founded in 1680 the late 17th century by Ashanti King Asantehene Osei Tutu I (the Emperor King of the Ashanti Kingdom) on the advice of Komfo Anokye, Osei Tutu I's premier.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United Asante States Under Nana Osei Tutu I )〕 Sited at the crossroads of the Trans-Saharan trade routes, Kumasi megacity's strategic location contributed significantly to the growing wealth of Kumasi.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= History Of The Asante Confederay » Restoration Of The Asante Confederacy )〕 Over the duration of Kumasi metropolis' existence, a number of peculiar factors have combined to transform Kumasi metropolis into a fitting financial center and political capital of the now Ashanti homeland Ashanti.〔 The main causal factors included the unquestioning loyalty to the Ashanti monarchy (the Asantehene) and Kumasi metropolis' growing wealth derived in part from the Ashanti capital Kumasi metropolis lucrative domestic-trade in items such as gold bar bullions.〔 Kumasi metropolis' with Ashanti region's and Ashanti kingdom's leadership institutes an elaborate political structure and deploys a myriad of Ashanti ceremonial traditions and domestic norms as a way of maintaining the Ashanti monarchy's complex polity and sustaining allegiance to the Ashanti monarchy.〔 Also introduced to support this evolving Ashanti socio-political structure was a range of Ashanti cultural artifacts, regalia and other forms of symbolism, many of which have survived to this day.〔 The Ashanti King Asantehene is the absolute ruler and political head of the Ashantis and Ashantis homeland Ashanti.〔〔 The current Ashanti king is Asantehene Osei Tutu II.
==Nomenclature==
The nomenclature Ashanti () derives from the 1670s as the Ashanti went from being a tributary state to a centralized hierarchical kingdom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United Asante States Under Nana Osei Tutu I )〕〔 Ashanti Emperor Asantehene Osei Tutu I, military leader and head of the Oyoko clan, founded the Ashanti kingdom.〔〔Kevin Shillington, ''History of Africa'', St.Martin's, New York, 1996 (1989), p. 194〕 Osei Tutu I obtained the support of other clan chiefs and using Kumasi as the central base, subdued surrounding Akan states.〔〔 Osei Tutu challenged and eventually defeated Denkyira in 1701,〔〔 and from this, the nomenclature ''Asanti (Ashanti)'' came to be.〔〔 The nomenclature Ashanti is the name of the homeland; Ashanti autonomous region and Ashanti ethnic group () and Ashanti language (Ashanti Twi). The nomenclature ''Ashanti'' () is an English language misnomer and ''Asanti'' () is the correct pronunciation.〔 Asanti literally means "because of wars" (Asa - wars; Nti- because()).〔
