About Yeji Town

Yeji and the areas around it are the original home of a group of people called the Chumburu. Another part of the Chumburu people live across Lake Volta in their own traditional area.

Languages and People

The Chumburu people in Yeji speak the Chumburung language. However, the way they speak it in Yeji is a bit different from how it's spoken in the Chumburung kingdom itself. Besides the Chumburu, other groups like the Konkombas and Gonjas also live in Yeji.
