Hello , I' m new on this forum and I' m seeking for resources to learn the mina ( also called Ge or Gen , spoken in the south of Benin and Togo ). I found a grammar and some vocabulary lists , but about none recording of speaking or dialogue in this language. If somebody know where to find resources or even speak this language , I' m very interested.

Perhaps this is of some use to you:
"The speakers are the Adjari-Quatchi." according to http://www.hermanboel.eu/language-database/lg_mina.htm The same webpage also states that the language is also spoken in Ghana. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This is probably the grammar you mentioned but try Grammaire complète du Mina.
And there seem to be some Bible and Christian related audio and video available in Mina/Gen, linked on this website. PanAfrica has some good information on the Gbe languages (of which Mina is a member). Phillip de Barros who co-wrote the grammar of Mina also says that Mina is a creole language of Ewe and Ga, so if you are especially interested in the Mina language and the area it's spoken you may have more luck learning from Ewe materials as well as using the Mina grammar. Ewe is spoken right next to where Mina is spoken, and there are a lot more resources for it, including various textbooks (look here under Ewe) and websites with grammar & vocabulary information. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
