Once known as the Republic of Upper Volta, the nation now called Burkina Faso has as its capital the city of Ouagadougou. It was renamed in 1984, and the new name means, roughly, "the land of upright people" in the native languages. The official language is French, but Mòoré and Dioula are still spoken by most.
