- Mpra, or Mpre, is an extinct language spoken in the village of (8°52′N 1°15′W / 8.867°N 1.250°W) in central Ghana, located between the towns of Techiman and Tamale near the confluence of the Black and White Voltas. Mpra has been difficult to classify due to its divergent vocabulary. It is known only from a 70-word list given in a 1931 article. Blench (2007) considers it to be a possible language isolate. A poorly attested language spoken in the nearby village of Tuluwe, Mpur, may also turn out to be yet another language isolate. Both Butie and Tuluwe are located near the village of Mpaha. 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. However, this is based only on the numerals, which are clearly related to Gonja. The rest of the vocabulary is "hard to recognise" (Williamson & Blench, 2000:36). Blench (2010) presents it as a possible Kwa language; Blench (2012) notes that it "may either be an isolate with [Kwa] borrowings or a highly divergent branch of Kwa". (en)
- Mpre är ett utdött språk som det till viss del finns spår av i byn i centrala Ghana, mellan städerna Techiman och Tamale, nära floden Volta. Språket har varit svårt att klassificera till följd av dess divergerande vokabulär. Det är endast känt genom en 70 ord lång ordlista i en artikel från 1931 av den brittiska kommissionären Allan Wolsey Cardinall. , en brittisk lingvist och antropolog som besökte området 2007, menar att det finns goda skäl att anta att Mpre är ett isolerat språk men att det kan vara ett Niger-Kongospråk.
