       PSA: The demonym for Burkina Faso is BurkinabèBurkina Faso is a name made up in 1984 by our socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-colonial president Thomas Sankara. It joins the 2 biggest languages, Mòoré and Dioula, to mean Land of Honest/Upright People. There is only 1 demonym, and that is burkinabè.  Bè means child in Fulani, another major language. Child of the Land of Honest people. Burkinese, burkinabese, or any other demonym is a colonial attempt to dilute our political history.
