Toubab

In Burkina Faso's most common language (Moore), the word for white person is nassara (derived through Arabic from the name Nazareth, place of birth of Jesus). In the country's west, more popular languages (e.g., Dyula, Bambara and Mandinka) use the word toubabou. The word nassara is also used in neighbouring Niger.
