Synopsis
This book is a late 19th-century dictionary of the Hausa language, and one of the earliest to have been compiled. The author, who was a missionary, drew upon the work of previous authors, travelers, and missionaries who had come into contact with the Hausa peoples in the nineteenth century as his aim was to provide a resource for communication with the large Hausa population of British West Africa. The dictionary defines and provides examples of usage for thousands of Hausa words and phrases, encompassing a diverse range of concepts and topics. These entries offer valuable insights into the language itself, as well as the culture and beliefs of the Hausa people. The dictionary is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Hausa language, the history of linguistics in Africa, or the culture and traditions of the Hausa peoples.
