Dagombas are not people from Burkina Faso and therefore are not Burkinabes. Dagombas are Ghanaians.Both the Dagombas ,Mamprusis and Mossi people were living together in Dagomba and Mamprusi lands in ancient times when mossi people migrated to Burkina Faso and founded the mossi lands when burkina faso was an empty land.However mossis claimed that some mossis came from the area of the sahara desert in the north.The three tribes are described as brothers.When Tohazie and his followers came from Northern Nigeria,to Mali to Burkina Faso into Ghana all these three tribes were there and they introduced the chieftaincy institution to them after having married their daughters and produced some of the royals.The ancestors of the mossi managed to escape with their chieftaincy to Burkina Faso whilst Mamprusis and Dagombas managed to enskine their people.Tohazie and his people were said to be Berbers
which was a combination of Arabs and Spanish warriors as their origin.The chief of Gambaga was said to have ruled all the tree tribes when they were small and mossi were found around Gambaga and Bawku. Some mossi chiefs perhaps their mothers were both Mamprusis and Dagombas and Lossi too vice versa.Naa Gbewa Tohazies grandson was said to have stayed in Sanga , the town of mossi yangas whose fathers were also chiefs of gambaaga in ghana .
A Burkinabe is a person from Burkina Faso or of Burkinabe descent.
The citizens of Burkina Faso are known as Burkinabé
yes, dagombas were one time called mossi people because historians and linguists have stated that their languages were and are similar which means that it was one tribe which split into two or more and when mossi left dagomba and mamprusi they assimilated other several different tribes and the mossi language changed slightly from dagomba of today and it could be vice versa because it was generations ago.Historians claimed that it was when Tohazie came that some called themselves dagombas, some mamprusis and some mossi people, that explained the split.There are several tribes in northern ghana who said they are also mossi. dagomba and mamprusi people Those who read a lot of history books will come across such books one day.There is another history which states that the mossi claim they are mamprusi, dagomba and wala people in ghana.The mossi royals claim they have different history from the other mossi peoples.The truth of all this is that some claimed Tohajie and his warriors were berbers who were a mixture of arabs and spanish after they became assimilated and came and introduced chieftaincy to mossi, mamprusi and dagomba peoples in ghana.The original chiefs of berber origin married dagomba, mossi and mamprusi women and gave birth to some royals in northern ghana when they came from northern nigeria. That is another history so choose one.This simply means that these three tribes learnt this chieftaincy institution from the original berbers and their descendents became mamprusi, mossi and dagombas through assimilation.The mamprusi and mossi people were said to have been chiefs of some villages in the gurunsi area of former upper region of ghana which means that some royals eventhough may be known to be gurunshies today their origins were mossi and mamprusi peoples
According to a 2003 estimate cited in The C.I.A. World Factbook, 29.4% of Burkinabe men are literate, as opposed to 15.2% of women, leading for a total national literacy rate of 21.8%. Burkina Faso has the lowest literacy percentage by a substantial margin; its closest "competitors" are Chad and Afghanistan with 26% and 28%, respectively.The average Burkinabe spends just six years in school. (In the U.S., the average is 16.) In case you were wondering, Burkinabe is Burkina Faso's demonym -- the proper name for a person from Burkina Faso.
The question Are there mossi people still in existence is an interesting question.Sure there are still mossi people in existence.I know perhaps the person asking this question may not have understood what the mossi tribe is or might have read what I had also read in history of mossi wars.Some historians made some conclusions that all mossi people were killed in some wars during fierce battles because they were warlike and were fighting wars upon wars.these particular mossi people were said to have fought such wars in a particular area and not every where.It was the mossi people that fought the French army in ouagadougou area because of their opposition to French colonial rule in 1896.The historian who concluded that all the mossi people were killed in the wars felt that the royals or chiefs and their families were the only pure mossi people because of the mossi assimilation policy of several tribes of non-mossi tribes having been assimilated into mossi tribe.Even some Ghanaian tribes told the colonial Government that they were also mossi people because their greatgrand fathers were mossi and are still alive in Burkina Faso and Ghana.They are still in existence, even the Colonial Government used them in wars in the gold coast.Mossi is described as ancestors with their descendents in Ghana.Mossi includes Dagombas,Mamprusis,Wala, Mossi etc in Ghana

The Mamprusi tribe is mostly found in Ghana as the home of the Mamprusi people but are not Burkinabes as some might have claimed.Some may be found in Burkina Faso as having migrated there to do some work to earn some income The fact of the matter is that the Mamprusi tribe has not been accepted as one of the Burkina faso tribes recognized by the Government.The Mossi people left Gambaga in Ghana several generations ago when Tohajie introduced the chieftaincy institution to the Dagomba, Mamprusi and Mossi people with the Mossi people migrating with their chieftaincy to Burkina Faso.The Dagomba and Mamprusi did not introduce chieftaincy to Mossi people rather they all learnt it from the same people.The story of the grand mother of the Mossi royals from Gambaga talked about her father as a chief of Dagombas, Mamprusis and Mossi people because the mossi non royals claim that they did not have the same origin with the royals.The first chiefs of Dagomba,Mamprusis and Mossi were said to have been Berbers who were said to have originated from a mixture of Arabs and Spanish warriors who came by way of Northern Nigeria into Mali, Burkina Faso, and into Ghana.Their descendents became Dagomba,Mamprusi and Mossi royals after their grandfathers assimilated into Dagomba ,Mamprusi and Mossi and became the royals of the various tribes.Another history disclosed that the grandfathers of Dagombas,Mamprusis and Mossi people fought wars with the Arabs before they had their chieftaincies because the institution was difficult to get it from those who introduced it because from the beginning they were too powerful and were their rulers so the three tribes had to combine and fought them off before they migrated with their chieftaincy from far away into Ghana and again went away with their individual chieftaincy.The Sanga village which is a mossi Yanga village in Burkina Faso was said to have been a place where Naa Gbewa first settled because his father was a brother of the fathers of the Mossi yangas and they were also royals of Gambaga chieftaincy from where he moved to Pusiga in Ghana.When the British arrived in Bawku in the 1800s the British and French were struggling for territory, the Mossi Yangas who were also royals of Gambaga told the British that they were under Nayiri and Nayiri had enskinned the chief of Sanga and told him to represent the mossi yangas who extended from Bawku villages across into Burkina Faso and Togo and at a meeting organized by the British officials in Bawku there was a clash during the meeting the and the chief of Sanga fled to his hometown and when order was restored and the meeting started he was not present so the mossi yangas were not represented in the British side and those living across into Burkina Faso and Togo were annexed by the French because they had fought wars and captured the mossi headquarters of ouagadougou down into those areas because they were in control and used military might to control and cut any chief from British territory off and told them their chieftaincy ended in gold coast now ghana.It was later that those in Ghana were placed under Bawku chieftaincy when the paramountcy was created.As for the Mossi Yangas living across into Burkina Faso and Togo they are under the mossi chieftaincy and their language is more similar to the Mossi language and is a dialect of mossi language .Because it is written in books that the mossi people said their chiefs originated from Northern Ghana people just concluded that they were Mamprusi and Dagomba people forgetting that the Mossi people were also living in Mamprusi and Dagomba area before they left for burkina Faso as some historians disclosed.
