Dagbani is member of the Gur branch of Niger-Congo
languages. It is spoken mainly in northern Ghana by
800,000 Dagomba people. It is closely related to, and
mutually intelligible with, Mossi, which is spoken mainly
in Burkina-Faso. Dagbani is also known as Dagbamba, Dagbane
and Dagomba.
Dagbani is taught in primary and secondary schools, and
there are radio programmes in the language.
Sal' la sala. Bɛhig' be sokam sanimi, din pa la amii.
Suhizɔbo be sokam sani; ka nambɔxu beni.
Suhubɔhibo mi bi lan kɔŋ yigunaadam kam
sani. Dinzuxu dimbɔŋɔ zaa wuhiya ka dama
di tu kamaata ka ti zaa yu tab' hali ni ti puuni.
Translation
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They
