Ethnic groups

In Togo, there are about 40 different ethnic groups, the most numerous of which are the Ewe in the south (46%) (Although along the southern coastline they account for 21% of the population), Kotokoli and Tchamba in the center, Kabyé in the north (22%). Another classification lists Uaci or Ouatchis (14%) as a separate ethnic group from the Ewe which brings the proportion of Ewe down to (32%). The division between Ewes and Ouatchis was first made by the French government in 1955.[7] On the contrary, the term Ouatchi relates to a subgroup of Ewes which migrated south during the 16th century from Notse the ancient Ewe Kingdom capital.[citation needed] This classification has been contested for being inaccurate and politically biased; the Ouatchis are a sub-group of the Ewe just as the Anlo in the Republic of Ghana are a subgroup of the Ewe ethnic group.[citation needed] Mina, Mossi, and Aja (about 8%) are the remainder; under 1% are European expatriates who live in Togo as diplomats and for economic reasons.
