Mpre is an unclassified language once spoken in the village of Butie in Ghana, near the confluence of the Black and White Voltas. It is known only from a 70-word list given in a 1931 article. It bears no close resemblance to its neighbours; it may be a Niger-Congo language, or a language isolate. Painter (1967) briefly states that "ḿpŕ̩ɛ̀ has died" and that the ethnic group ("the Nnyamase-mprɛ") have "become Nnyamase-Gonja"; he appears to regard it as having been a dialect of Gonja.

- Mpre is an unclassified language once spoken in the village of Butie in Ghana, near the confluence of the Black and White Voltas. It is known only from a 70-word list given in a 1931 article. It bears no close resemblance to its neighbours; it may be a Niger-Congo language, or a language isolate. Painter (1967) briefly states that "ḿpŕ̩ɛ̀ has died" and that the ethnic group ("the Nnyamase-mprɛ") have "become Nnyamase-Gonja"; he appears to regard it as having been a dialect of Gonja. This is based only on the numerals, which are clearly related to Gonja. The rest of the vocabulary, however, is "hard to recognise" . It is not related to the similar-sounding Mbre.
- Mpre är ett språk som talas (eller talades) i byn Butie i Ghana, vid floden Volta. Språket är endast känt genom en 70 ord lång ordlista i en artikel från 1931. Mpre har inga tydliga likheter med sina grannspråk; det kan vara ett Niger-Kongospråk, men det är inte uteslutet att det kan vara isolerat.
