'''Chakosi''', also known by its [[Autonym (semantics)|autonym]] '''Anufo''', is a [[Central Tano language]] spoken in northeast [[Ghana]], northern [[Togo]], and northwest [[Benin]] by approximately 180,000 people.

==Phonology==

Chakosi has 27 consonants and 10 vowels.

Many words are complex by incorporating numerous consonants within, as in the word skraχo for “tree, bush’ with the consonant /χ/ being a hissing sound that is held in the back of the throat, and is held longer than other consonants.<ref name="Velupillai 2015 381"/>
