Logba Klikpo (also spelled Klikpo) is a hamlet in the Afadzato South District of the Volta Region of Ghana. It serves as the traditional seat of the paramount chief of the Logba people.[1]
Geography
Logba Klikpo is located in the mountains near the Ghana–Togo border, approximately seven kilometers from Logba Alakpeti. It lies along routes connecting to nearby Logba settlements such as Logba Tota and Logba Alakpeti.[2]
History and administration
The Logba people inhabit several settlements in the Volta Region, with Klikpo as the traditional seat of their paramount chief.[1][3]
The Logba Traditional Council was inaugurated in 2018, with Togbe Unansanango Dabra VI as its president and paramount chief.[4]
People and language
The inhabitants are part of the Logba ethnic group, who speak Logba (also called Ikpana), an endangered Ghana-Togo Mountain language with approximately 7,000–7,500 speakers.[2][1]
Most residents also speak Ewe and some English or French.[2] The Logba are primarily subsistence farmers, cultivating crops such as cassava, maize, yams, cocoa, and coffee.
Linguistic documentation includes Kofi Dorvlo's 2008 grammar of Logba and subsequent studies on its interrogative structures and ethnobotany.[1][5]
