message: Moore is absolutely *not* mutually intelligible with Dagbani.
I used to live for some years in Bawku, in Ghana, and myself know a bit of Kusaal, a closely related language in a number of ways intermediate between the two.
My work involved frequent interaction with speakers of all these languages, helped by enviably multilingual Ghanaian colleagues. I'm here to tell you that if you try to make yourself understood to a Mossi person who doesn't know Dagbani, in Dagbani you will get on just about as well as if you speak Swedish to a German who doesn't speak Swedish.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bargainsale (talk • contribs) 00:32, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Mossi language →  – The language is not referred to as "Mossi" by any academic or scholarly source, nor is it referred to as "Mossi" by the native speakers of the language. There is no good reason to have the page named "Mossi" when its name is Mooré. This only adds to confusion when the only commonly used name for the language is Mooré. The argument that a language name in English should just match the ethnic group that speaks it is weak when the name is already commonly used. See the language of the Akan people for example, it is commonly referred to as "Twi" and it's wikipedia page is aptly named "Twi." The same should also be the case for the language of the Mossi people. By the Wiki naming guidelines articles should use the most commonly recognized name, and in this case it is "Mooré." No one who has even heard of the language would refer to it as "Mossi". 65sugg (talk) 22:18, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
