The Mossi are the largest ethnic group in Burkina Faso, constituting 52% of the population, or about 11.1 million people. The other 48% of Burkina Faso's population is composed of more than 60 ethnic groups, mainly the Gurunsi, Senufo, Lobi, Bobo and Fulani. The Mossi speak the Mòoré language.
According to Mossi mythology, the Mosi royal family was founded by a king named Ouedraogo, born to a Dagomba princess and a Mande hunter in what is now northern Ghana.

After a while, Northern Mossi, with Ouagadougou as their capital, became independent from Southern Mosi, with Tengodogo as its capital, and were divided into three independent states, each maintaining its independence until the 19th century.
