Dagaare language has become the sixth Ghanaian language to be approved on Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia edited by volunteers around the world and hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation.

The language approved on Wednesday, 11th November 2023 comes after the Dagbani and Gurene languages which all belong to the mutually interconnected Mabia/Mole Dagbani languages.

Dagaare becomes the third Mabia Language and the sixth language under the Ghanaian language category to be approved on Wikipedia.

This makes it possible for users to read Wikipedia in the Dagaare language as well as access some materials exclusive to the Dagaare history, culture, and people.

This can be accessed via dga.wikipedia.org

The Dagaare language joins Dagbani, Twi, Eʋegbe [Ewe], Gurene, and Ghanaian Pidgin as recognized Ghanaian languages by the open data platform.
