==Population== Population distribution is very uneven due to soil and terrain variations. The population is generally concentrated in the south and along the major north-south highway connecting the coast to the Sahel. Age distribution is also uneven; nearly one-half of Togolese are less than fifteen years old. French, the official language, is used in administration and documentation. The public primary schools combine [[French language|French]] with Ewe or Kabye as languages of instruction, depending on the region. [[English language|English]] is spoken in neighboring [[Ghana]] and is taught in Togolese secondary schools. As a result, many Togolese, especially in the south and along the Ghana border, speak some English.
