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)
At WP:VPP#RFC: On the controversy of the pseudo-namespace shortcuts, I mentioned this language, referring to it as 'Mossi language', and user:DrMennoWolters has noted that name of the language isnt Mossi. From a quick look at the various references sites, esp. http://www.ethnologue.com/language/mos, DrMennoWolters appears to be correct. I note that in 2010 user:Kwamikagami renamed this article from Mòoré language to Mossi language with a reason "root, per name of people". Kwamikagami, could you explain that rationale in a bit more detail? John Vandenberg ( chat) 00:43, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
Your first point is irrelevant, and your second is mistaken. (The Latins spoke Latin, the Hebrews spoke Hebrew, the Jews speak Jewish languages, Israeli is a nationality, not an ethnicity, though there is of course Israeli Hebrew; the Indians speak Indian languages; the Ashanti speak Ashanti, a dialect of Twi.) Sure, Moore *could* be an exception, but as you've already demonstrated, it is not. — kwami ( talk) 09:37, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
fyi, I have notified Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (languages)#Mossi vs Moore, as that guideline doesnt give good guidance on this scenario. John Vandenberg ( chat) 03:42, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
