Mina, the lingua franca of southern Togo and the Grand Marche of Lomé, is a language born from trade, migration, and the practical need to communicate across ethnic lines. It is not anyone's first language, but everyone speaks it. It is the language of the market, the taxi rank, and the street corner, and it carries words from Ewe, Fon, Yoruba, Portuguese, French, and English in a creole that could only have been invented in a port city. To speak Mina is to speak Togo.
You observe the Arctic wildlife of Svalbard and Jan Mayen including polar bears, Arctic foxes, and walruses in this high northern region.
