You are correct. I have seen it ashante, asante, and ashanti.
Ah! I see...I didn't realize there were different variations of spelling (because of how it's pronounced in the native tribal language, and then trying to convey that phonetically in English).
Speaking of Africa, this is kind of funny. Most of us have seen "The Lion King" and know the song "Hakuna Matata"....(how it means "no worries"...blah blah). Anyhow, when I was in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, I asked a Zimbabwean "What does Hakuna Matata mean?" just to see what he would say. He stated laughing and he said, "It means 'don't worry about it'...how did you find this out? It's a Shona expression". So I guess Disney did do some legitimate research!
