ABSTRACT
The name Volta-Comoe was first used by Stewart (1966) to refer to the languages spoken in the forest and coastal areas of the Ivory Coast and Ghana that are bounded in the east by the Volta River and in the west by the Comoe River. (Dolphyne (1974) suggested the name Volta-Bandama as a more appropriate name for this language group since the western boundary is the Bandama and not the Comoe River.) In a more recent revision of the classification of the 'Kwa' languages spoken in West Africa, Stewart simply calls this language group the Comoe language group. In this volume the original label Volta-Comoe is used. These languages are bounded in the north by the Gur (Voltaic) languages, in the south by the sea and in the south-east by the Ga-Dangme language family.
