DanZubair:
Here is collection of hausa folklores written in english http://www.sacred-texts.com/afr/hausa/

Thank you a million times. I read all of them but did not find any mention to "Burtuntuna". Do you know this particular story? Have you ever heard of it?

Thanks!

hausa history!

Can you help me?

Dear fellow Nairalanders,

I have learned tremendously with this quite educative thread. Thank you very much for sharing so much! I am in need of some help and perhaps some of you will be able to assist me in spreading Hausa culture in my country. I am teaching a course on African Literatures in Portugal early in 2017. I would like to include traditional Nigerian literature because it is so rich and unknown in Portugal. Can anyone PLEASE help me find the story of Burtuntuna (in English or in Hausa, I can read a little Hausa)? Does any of you know this story? I googled it but did not find the full text. Also I would very very much appreciate any other texts of traditional Hausa folktales (in Hausa or in English - full texts). I have Igbo, Fulani and Yoruba friends who helped me with folktales in their languages, but sadly I don't have any Hausa friends to help me.

I thank you very much in advance!

Please help!
