Which ethnic group is the largest in Burkina Faso?

The Mossi are the largest ethnolinguistic group in Burkina Faso. They have been connected to the region for centuries and speak Moore, a language belonging to the Gur branch of the Niger-Congo family.1

The Mossi are primarily sedentary farmers who have historically organized their society around a feudal kingdom, with the paramount ruler, known as the morho naba, based in Ouagadougou. While the Mossi constitute the major group, the country is home to various other peoples, including the Gurma, Senufo, Bwa, Lobi, and Fulani, among others.21
