The Ashanti people first appear in the historical record around the 13th century. By the 17th century, they had built themselves into a great kingdom.
Most of the Asante live in a region centred on the city of Kumasi, which was the capital of the former independent Asante state. They speak a Twi language of the Kwa branch of the Niger-Congo language family and are a subgroup of the Akan peoples.

The Ashanti national emblem is a red Porcupine (or Ashanti: Kotoko) on a gold background that symbolizes gold which has been a source of Ashanti wealth.
