A member of a West African ethnic group from northern Ghana and Togo, or their language.
From Dagbani language, the native term for the people. The name likely comes from 'dag' (related to Dinka and Masai groups) and 'bamba' (people), common root patterns in Bantu and Saharan languages.
The Dagbamba have one of Africa's oldest continuous royal dynasties—their oral histories preserve detailed accounts of political events going back over 1,000 years!
