Hausa-speaking communities are scattered throughout West Africa. The Hausa people are over 70 million, with populations in Nigeria, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Togo, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Sudan, Gana, Senegal, the Gambia, and Gabon. Hausa is the second largest language after Arabic in the Afroasiatic family of languages. And that’s why you don’t have to be Hausa to give your child a Hausa name.
