Thanks for that. Just thought you might like to know that Wikipedia is now inaccessible to those of us who are in China as it has been blocked by the Chinese government.

Mpre language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Mpre is a language spoken or once spoken in the village of Butie (8°52? N 1°15? W) in Ghana, near the confluence of the Black and White Voltas. It is known only from a 70-word list given in a 1931 article. It bears no close resemblance to its neighbours; it may be a Niger-Congo language, or a language isolate.
Painter (1967) briefly states that "?p??? has died" and that the ethnic group ("the Nnyamase-mpr?") have "become Nnyamase-Gonja"; he appears to regard it as having been a dialect of Gonja.

Posted by bathrobe at October 26, 2005 09:36 AMI was wondering if you could assist me? I need a site or reference point to find common linguistic challenges for someone originally from Greece but speaking American English.
