Hausa is a Chadic language of the Afroasiatic family — distantly related to Arabic and Hebrew — and the most widely spoken language of West Africa, with around 80 million native and second-language speakers across Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, Ghana and beyond. It is one of the working languages of the African Union.
Hausa is written in two scripts: Latin (Boko, the standard since the 1930s) with extra letters ɓ, ɗ, ƙ for ejectives and ƴ for the glottalised y; and Ajami, a modified Arabic script with a centuries-long literary tradition. The language has two grammatical genders (masculine and feminine) and three lexical tones (high, low, falling).
