The Mossi are a Gur ethnic group native to modern Burkina Faso, primarily the Volta River basin. 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.
According to historical accounts, the Mossi kingdom rose in this region in the mid-15th century with Tengodogo as its capital, and its powerful cavalry kept it independent from the Mali Empire and the Kingdom of Songai, which were at the height of their power at the time. 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.
