More information about the More language:
More language (also Mòoré, Mooré, Moré, Moshi, Mossi,
Moore or More) is a language spoken primarily in Burkina
Faso by the Mossis people. 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. More is the language of the
Mossi people (Moaaga in singular). Second-language
speakership of More in Burkina Faso is probably
significant.
1 CLASSIFICATION AND WHERE SPOKEN
Moore, spoken by the Mossi, belongs to the Gur group of Niger Congo.
Moore is spoken in Central Burkina Faso with small numbers of speakers
in Mali and Togo. It is also spoken by Mossi working in Ghana and
Côte d'Ivoire.
2 NUMBER OF SPEAKERS
Grimes (1996) gives a figure of 4.6
million speakers and (citing David Delwa 1992) estimates 2 million
second language speakers. Tiendrebeogo (1982) and Yago (1982), based on
the 1975 census, list 2.7 million speakers of Moore, while UBS notes 2.5
million. Johnson (1978) lists 175,000 first-language Moore speakers in
Ghana. Canu (1981) states that the latest surveys indicate about 1.7
million people have Moore as their mother tongue.
3 DIALECT SURVEY
Canu (1981) reports that Moore has
four main mutually intelligible dialects: Ouagadougu, Ouahigouya, Kaya,
and Tendoko. The Moore Language Board (Sous-Commission Nationale du
Moore) distinguishes six mutually intelligible dialects: Lallweoogo,
Wubrweoogo, Zundweoogo, Saremde, Taoolende, and Yaadre (Nikiema,
personal communication, 1986).
4 USAGE
Moore is widely used as a lingua franca as well as for a first language.
Broadcasts in Moore are heard in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire.
5 ORTHOGRAPHIC STATUS
"Moore does have a standard official orthography. It was elaborated in
1977 by the Commission nationale des langues voltaïques" (Nikiéma,
personal communication, 1985).
