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!!
I'm a Hausa girl ,lives outside Africa. I didn't study the lang in school ,and I struggle to read. I keep trying every tone to see which word is this and if it fits the context. 😣
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.
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. Mun wuce duk inda ake tunani. Proudly Hausa from Kura town, Kano State, Nigeria.❤
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 RU-vid show. Hope you will say yes.
Je suis haoussa du Niger🇳🇪 et fier, je t'invite de visite mon pays 🇳🇪 pour découvrir les différents haousa qui sont arawa, adarawa, kourfouyawa, damagarawa,gobirawa, katsinawa agadasawa ,etc...merci pour votre analyser remarquable sur la tribun et langue hausa
I'm surprized no one has started a RU-vid channel like this one and Langfocus just on African langauges because there's more than enough material out there. I would love to see anyone do something on Nubian. Egypt used Nubian code talkers in the Yom Kippur war against Israel. Massai, Dinka, Zulu, Ormo would also be cool.
I agree with you that African languages are super interesting and we should see more videos about them. Definitely planning to cover more of them in the future! By the way, I have a video on Zulu already
And I thought Latin was hard. Your videos are the perfect length and depth. Your presentation is affable and professional. There's nothing else like your channel. Thank you.
Thanks for this enlightened, educative as well as informative research on Hausa Language, We Hausa people feel so honored and respected for this gesture, we thank you and your entire crew “Mun gode Sosai” 👏🏾
This one is a detailed description of Husa. You've done a deep research, am Hausa and very impressed to see this. Thank you dear JuLingo hope to see you soon in nothern Nigeria
Sannunki da kokari yan mata I’m native Fulani but mainly speak Hausa more than my language. This video is incredible and I appreciate your deep research
Oh my God, I can not believe that you know a lot about the Hausa tribe and language. Thank you for your video, I really liked it. I'm Hausa from Niger.
Thanks, I enjoyed this Content about HAUSA Language, I'm a Hansa Man from SUDAN 🇸🇩 , I have a question, do you know the hausa people they are also origine From Sudan ? Hausa is the most speaks language in Sudan, and hausa is the most biggest ethnic group in Sudan, Na gode , Magid Shuaib From Sudan, Great
Am Hausa from Nigeria zazzau, Hausa is thought in uni here in Hamburg Germany, England and in America too there is American voice Hausa radio bbc Hausa , rlf France, dw Hausa and much more ..
Well explained keep it up, we thank you for always impacting us with rich knowledge, next we hoping to hear about the fulani language. As am a fulani who also speaks Hausa fluently 🙌
Wowww RU-vid just suggested this video to me and you are indeed deep in to our language and culture as well, thank you for your hard work of researching, you got me on board to your channel, much love from Hausa 🇳🇬.
Hausa has indeed swept across not only West Africa but Central and parts of North Africa as well. I'm Hausa by tribe and always proud of that. Really happy that you featured this very important Language in the world. Mun gode sosai (We thank you very much)
Oh thank you I am Senegalese(Fulani &maure) and I studyed in University in France with Hausa Friends from Niger I get some words like takalmi, inawouni, inakouana
The research work behind this video is just impressive and very professional. What I especially liked is the part where you talk about the plural. Hausa is my mother tongue but I never studied it at school as we study in French in Niger. But I still realized that the plural is very irregular compared to other languages. And it is thanks to you that I have just had a first source which deals with the question of the plural in Hausa. I wish you or someone else could make us another video in detail about Hausa grammar and its richness.
I'm Cameroonian, there are also Hausa Cameroonians too (I'm not hausa), but this is interesting because when it comes to languages people don't really think about languages in Africa. Most popular languages ppl think of in Africa are usually swahili, afrikaans, igbo, yoruba, and zulu.
Yeah Hausa is overlooked even in terms of African culture which is crazy considering that it's the second most spoken language native to Africa - and first, if you add the fact, that Swahili is mostly learnt through being taught in schools and as such isn't the first language of most of its speakers
@@ari3732 yes mos of them Djibouti 🇩🇯 and Somalia 🇸🇴 spela somali becouse of 75 percent of Djibouti are somali Tigrey speakers are north Ethiopian and Eritrean
Julia, thank you so much for this content. I am a big geek for this kind of information. You present it in such an interesting way, that I just want to keep binge watching.
I really liked your video. Thank you for featuring an African language and having native speakers give examples. I just subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Haters will die with hearth attackers , and even the president of Nigeria is hausa man ,I am really proud to be a hausa man from bauchi state Nigeria 🇳🇬, but I am presently studying in Russia 🇷🇺
Hausa is very easy to learn. If you live with Hausas they will speak Hausa to you, even if they are sure you don't speak it. They do it in a lively, polite, and humorous way so that you will enjoy trying, plus they accept you as one of their own the moment you start trying.
very happy to see my language been talked about, such a great job @juLingo, I would like to point few more things, the reason the rest of the world don't know much about this huge population of Hausa speaking people is because they don't like migration especially to the western world, due to culture and religious belief, again contrary to most belief that all Hausa are Muslims, there are actual millions Christians Hausa scattered across, a good example is the former military of state for 11yrs or so General yakubu Gowon. Hausas generally are very conservatives, and very honest as well, they are not the typical confident Nigerians u find internationally, a good example is the richest Black man Aliko Dangote is also a Hausa man, but outside of his business ventures u will hardly hear from him. "mun gode" (we thank you) pls make a video about the kanuri people from North eastern Nigeria the only tribe to have maintained 100% single religion since 9th century till date there is no single none muslim kanuri.
Yakubu Gowon is Ngas NOT Hausa. He speaks Hausa that much is true. However his ethnicity is Ngas, please don't mislead those who are unfamiliar with the sub-region.
@@oceejekwam6829 I laughed so hard it shows u don’t understand the whole issue, it will be close to impossible or so for anyone to point at a pure Hausa person in the north there’s still debate if Hausa as language or as an ethnicity? Take for example all the former head of states and presidents from the North aren’t Hausas. Buhari, is Fulani, IBB Nupe, Murtala is Fulani, shehu Shagari, Fulani, Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa balewa, both Fulani, so Hausa is technically a language spoken around Northern region that whosoever is born around that area regardless of ur ethnic extraction u will be referred to as “Hausa” myself I am from Kanuri extraction but I barely speaks a word, on any document I use hausa/fulani as my ethnicity 😂
She said: "an official language in Nigeria" not "of Nigeria". Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba are considered as national languages at the federal level but are official in the states they dominate or at least "de facto" in those that haven't made it official. I hope Nigerians wake up from their slumber and at least equalize the status of these three languages and pidgin with English in the whole country. I know we Nigerians are very diverse and that complicate things as the groups within feel a kind of unease with each other for the fear of domination. But as we become more enlightened, people will come to realize that at the end of the day we need to stand together for something that will uplift us as a people in the state of world affairs, because as subsaharans, colonial languages be it English, French or Portuguese will always project a poor caricature image of us to the world.
@@sitwithnwanneka3851 1. In what states of Nigeria is Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba official language? 2. Why do you think Nigeria must have only these three as official languages in order to promote or project an African identity? 3. To an Efik or Anang, is Igbo not as foreign as English, if not more?
So the Hausas have been here for so long. God bless them. The Hausa language has influenced other languages.The Tiv language which I speak has borrowed from the Hausa:deri, dubu, aboki, saburu etc
I am presently living in zaria. Hausa is a great language also rich in culture and traditions. Arab influence is massive but it is still distinct in its own magnificence.
Kikuyu language Spoken language Description Kikuyu or Gikuyu (Gikuyu: Gĩkũyũ [ɣēkōjó]) is a Bantu language spoken by the (Agĩkũyũ) of Kenya. Kikuyu is spoken in the area between Nyeri and Nairobi. The Kikuyu people usually identify their lands by the surrounding mountain ranges in Central Kenya which they call Kĩrĩnyaga.
I was born in Kaduna, we relocated to Lagos because of some war then, now it saddens me I don’t understand a bit of the language. I’d be glad if anyone could help either with resources or anything so I can learn it
Apparently, the word "cat" derives from an Afro-Asiatic language and the original sense alluded to a pregnant animal's belly and fertility. It could be linked to other words not in that language family (that also start with a hard c sound) for the young of many other mammals, such as calf, colt, cub, kid, and even child, which once had a hard c sound.
The R1B branch among the Hausa is R1b-V88. Among living human beings, R1b-V88 is the oldest among central West African that includes the Hausa but not just the Hausa. The Afroasiatic language group is related to the other language groups of Africa including Nilo-Saharan and Niger-Congo. There was no migration into Africa only Africans, different ones mainly from East but also West Africa, who settled Western Asian - we know this from their genetics and linguistics- but also across the Gibraltar Strait, known for the same reason. R1B-V88 is found in Neolithic Europe such as Villabruna. But it can't be understated that Villabruna would be phenotypically indistinguishable from a West African man as well as genetically indistinguishable from Africans. So it isn't about how did a non-African migrate into Africa but of which Africans left and how that is traceable linguistically, genetically, and historically.
