@neondt @Caligula Caesar - Just tagging so that Paradox is aware

Currently, this is how the West African culture group looks like:
Cultures Africa (2).jpg

The bottom left culture in the red is currently called Aka, and is the primary culture of the Ashanti.

However, this is wrong, as it should be Akan culture not Aka culture. While Aka is a real African culture, they were located in the Congo. The intended culture is Akan culture, who are located in Ghana and the surrounding areas.

Aka culture should be renamed to Akan culture. Hopefully, this can be fixed in the upcoming patch.

This is, unfortunately, a common issue with namings on Paradox's part, seeing as there is no agreement on which localizations are to be used, such as French localization or English phonetic, French localizations being used in some parts of Africa, especially North Africa, and English phonetic being used in Arabia and other parts of Africa. Some French or English sources used WILL also sometimes mispell ethnic group names or city or even country names.

For the Dyula, Dyula is the primary English localization, while the French use Diola. I am unsure of where "Dyola" comes from, it may be an antiquated English source.
