     The main sources of information about the development of Standard Eʋe are in German. There are two main reasons for this: First, German missionaries of the Norddeutsche Missions-Gesellschaft (Bremen) were the first to bring Christianity, with the formal western education that was associated with it, to Eʋeland. Secondly, the German colony of Togo lay in the heartland of Eʋeland.
