From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mòoré language (also Mooré,
Moré, Moshi, Mossi, Moore or
More) is a tonal language spoken primarily in
Burkina Faso by
the Mossi (or Moshe),
closely related and mutually
intelligible with the Dagbani language spoken in northern Ghana.
It is spoken by approximately 5 million people in the country plus
50,000 others in Benin, Côte
d'Ivoire, Ghana, Mali and Togo. Dialects of the language include Saremdé,
Taolendé, Yaadré, Ouagadougou, Yaande, Zaore and Yana.
It is classified as follows: Niger-Congo,
Atlantic-Congo, Volta-Congo, North, Gur, Central, Northern, Oti-Volta,
Western, Northwest. Mòoré is the language of the Mossi people (Moaaga in singular).
Second-language speakership of Mòoré in Burkina Faso is probably
significant.
