About the Hausa language

Today we’re exploring a West African language - Hausa. Hausa is one of the biggest African languages, but surprisingly it is not very well known outside the continent. It is also an Afroasiatic language, which means that it is related to Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic and Maltese among many others. Hausa language grew thanks to the Trans-Saharan trade in the medieval times, and it continues to be one of the most influential languages in West Africa.

I am speaking Hausa fluently despite not been one, but because I am living together with them, wonderful people, great culture, hospitable, tasty food, and generally fantastic living environment. I love them and I am greeting them wholeheartedly.

Am a Fulani man, back and front but I speak Hausa fluently more than fulani.

Imagine my shock seeing a video talking about my language.

Great research!! Unlike most other stuff on African languages, you stuck to the facts and I appreciate that a lot.

And yes, boko is very hard to write, especially with all the intonation missing from Latin scripts. For example

My friends type things like “if” as “dace” which when reading you’d assume the stress would be on the “da” e.g “datse (sever/cut)” but it is actually pronounced “da↗️ ce↘️” and has ZERO stress which again is another thing that can’t be easily written with Latin letters.

I personally try to be as verbose as possible when typing and add spaces EVERYWHERE so the words don’t get misunderstood. Because at least at that point anyone reading won’t have to worry about stress because the words are not joined.

Once again, great video 👍.
I’m totally sharing this with my family!!

For the very first time someone has made a short documentary about my pride, My language which is Hausa. Thanks for this wonderful work. We deserve more than this as a recognition being the most popular and most spoken language in West Africa and Africa at large. Even BBC, VOA, DW, RFI and the rest are broadcasting in Hausa language.

Hi Julie. I'm a journalist from Nigeria. And I'm Hausa. So I'm deeply grateful to you for considering our language. Even though I believe it deserves this. 😊

By the way, I'd like to email you. I couldn't find any here or on Google!

I'd really like to host you on my YouTube show. Hope you will say yes.
