Mõõré
tãnturi
Mõõré is the major language of Burkina Faso
It has been studied and discussed, mainly in French, for many years. In colonial times the names of Mõõré and Dagbani, the two languages of the Western Oti/Volta group with the largest populations, were used to label the whole group, spelled in English 'Mole-Dagbani' and probably thought of a one language with the 'Mole' pronounced to rhyme with 'hole'.
