Abstract:

The following description of Hausa is based on the variety of the language spoken in Kano, Nigeria. The sample text is transcribed from a recording of a male native of Kano in his late 30's. This variety of Hausa is considered “standard”. Though Kano is a large urban center with some internal variation in speech, the sound inventory is relatively homogeneous within the city and surrounding area. Kano Hausa is the variety most commonly heard on national and regional radio and television broadcasts in Nigeria as well as most international broadcasting, such as the BBC, Deutsche Welle, Radio Mosc

Abstract:

The Chadic (Afroasiatic) language Hausa, spoken mainly in Nigeria and the Republic of Niger, has a series of ‘glottalic’ obstruents. This includes both ejectives ([k’], [s’] or [ts’]; orthographic κ,ts) and two other consonants which have often been described as ‘implosives’ and are represented by the IPA symbols for implosives in Hausa orthography (б,d). In addition, there is a ‘laryngealized’ palatal glide (orthographic ‘y). The description of orthographic б,das implosive has been called into question, however.

Abstract:

In any analysis of the content of a Hausa contemporary Prose as one of the Hausa genres, Jigo (Theme), Structure/Setting (Tsari), Salo (Style), and Taurari (Stars/characters/charactersisation), have been the basis for study, with less emphasis or attention on orthography (Ka`idojin Rubutu), which is the accepted way of spelling and writing words. This is the gap or vacuum this paper will dwell into in a book called Sidi Ya Shiga Makaranta, by Umaru Ladan and Michael Crowder, which is a Hausa translation of Sani Goes To School novel. This paper cited many examples of orthographical errors and m

The invention of numeration system is regarded as one of the great accomplishments of man, as it greatly assist man in expressing his communication needs and also serve as an important tool in language pedagogy, historical linguistics, comparative study of African languages and computational linguistics.

Abstract:

Language is the main instrument in the wider spread and documentation of Islam and Islamic history in Africa and beyond. Historical development and rapid spread of Islam in African societies were historically accredited to African languages. The historic contact of the first Muslim generations with the Ethiopian emperor opens up the gate for the socio-linguistic development of translating Islamic dogma and messages into African languages. The Hausa factor in West African Islam is well noted in the writings of the early Muslim scholars. African linguistics contributions enhance the converts' li

Abstract:

This research aims to identify and analyze the inadequacies and shortcomings within both active and inactive Hausa websites and blogs. The employed research methodologies included interviews, involving direct contact with operators of Hausa internet media to gather pertinent information. Simultaneously, a direct analysis of internet content was conducted to extract information at its source. The study revealed primary shortcomings associated with Hausa internet platforms, namely (i) cultural insensitivity, (ii) orthographic errors, and (iii) subpar information quality. These challenges are ide

Abstract:

Oral English is an integral part of the English language syllabus in Nigeria's secondary schools. However, pronunciation is problematic for students due to factors which include the complexity of grapheme-phoneme correspondences in English, the influence of the students' first language (L1), Tera/Hausa and the method of teaching. Research in second language (L2) acquisition of phonology and on the role of orthographic input has shown that learners’ phonological development can be affected as a result of L2 orthographic input (e.g. Young-Scholten 2002; Rafat 2011 & 2016; Bassetti, Escudero and
