I based the pages design on Latveria and Genosha. The Latveria page used a standard wikipedia map display box isntead of a thumbnail so I emulated that.--Basique 12:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's the cited source for this? It sounds like fan speculation to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.130.15.14 (talk) 16:23, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is fan speculation. The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe identifies the Gorilla God as "either Ghekre or Gullah." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.21.131 (talk) 23:49, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The Ultimate Universe version of Wakanda seems to be not a nation but simply a very prosperous small city. If so, should be noted. Lots42 (talk) 03:22, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed some of Black Panther's villains that got individual pages aren't really very noticable. Venomm, Madam Slay and Windeagle for example all had just a handful of appearances. Maybe they should be merged into this article?IchiGhost (talk) 19:10, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is speculation, but it seems to me there is a connection to Rwanda and Uganda, and Kirby perhaps inuiting (correctly or not) an African equivalent of -stan. There is a Proto-Bantu language" root *-ganda, meaning roughly "social group" [1] [2] [3]. I'm not saying this should go in the article, but something to consider if someone can research the lingusitics more.--Pharos (talk) 21:08, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Moved. I'm going to be bold and close this immediately, as it looks uncontroversial. If anyone disagrees, I'm happy to reopen. — Amakuru (talk) 11:36, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

note the wiki is wrong
Wakanda, officially known as the Kingdom of Wakanda, is a small nation in North East Africa. For centuries they have remained in isolation and are now considered the most technologically advanced nation of the planet. Birnin Zana is the capital and largest city.

The US television show Daktari featured a fictional African tribe called Wakanda in Episode 2, Season 1, that aired in 1966.
The name cannot be copyrighted, as it was first used in a 1915 book which copyright has long expired. Stephanvalter (talk) 21:16, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I’m a new user on Wikipedia and hope to clear something up, I don’t believe that the official language of Wakanda is “Wakandan”, it’s said by the directors, the actors and even the subtitles specifically say “(speaking Xhosa)”. If anyone would like to discuss this please do.

I beg to differ when they say the fictional country Wakanda is located in Eastern part of Africa. The people from Wakanda speak Xhosa language and you only find Xhosa speaking people in the Southern part of Africa. If anyone would like to discuss this please do. 156.155.157.155 (talk) 13:23, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Did the authors take the name of "Wakanda", the fictional African nation in the story, from the Osage Nation, the Midwestern American tribe of the Great Plains? "Osage people who adhere to traditional customs believe they are an integral part of a broader universe. Their ceremonies and social organization represent what is observed around them that was created by a supreme life force known as Wah'Kon-TahorWakonda. Everything created has the spirit of Wakonda within it, from trees, plants, and the sky to animals and human beings. They believe there are two main divisions to life, consisting of the sky and earth. Life is created in the sky, and descends to the earth in material form. The sky is viewed as masculine in nature and the earth as feminine." Viriditas (talk) 23:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
