Baoule.wiki is an encyclopedic website built to showcase the Baoulé people of Côte d'Ivoire — their history, culture, language and territory — to the widest audience: students, families, travellers, researchers and the diaspora. It is fully bilingual (English and French) and the language automatically follows your browser's setting.
Our Mission
- Celebrate a founding people of Ivorian history, from Queen Pokou to Félix Houphouët-Boigny.
- Pass it on: clear, nuanced, enjoyable dossiers that say when sources disagree.
- Connect the Akan cousins: from the Baoulé country to Asante Ghana.
A Companion to baoule.ci
Baoule.wiki does not replace baoule.ci, the community website devoted to the history of the Baoulé people: it complements it. Here, a structured bilingual encyclopedia; there, in-depth articles, infographics, dictionary and grammar resources, tales and everyday life. Every page of this site links to baoule.ci to go further.

The content draws on public sources (encyclopedias, historians' work, cultural institutions) and on baoule.ci resources. Early history rests largely on oral tradition, which exists in several versions: where dates or accounts diverge, we say so. Spotted a mistake? Write to us and we will correct it.
