Forty-two in Nigerian FulfuldeThe Nigerian Fulfulde language belongs to the Senegambian languages of the Niger–Congo language family. This fula dialect is mostly spoken in Nigeria, but also in Cameroon and Chad. Language of the Fulani ethnic groups, it is also a lingua franca even though it is mostly used in the family circle. The Nigerian Fulfulde language counts about 14.5 millions speakers. It is written in the Latin alphabet since 2003, and in the Arabic alphabet since 2011.

Due to lack of data, we can only count accurately up to 9,999 in Nigerian Fulfulde. Please contact me if you can help me counting up from that limit.

The name 'bello' is fulani in origin but somehow has become a pan-nigerian surname.

Lamido is Arabic in origin, yahya is also Arabic.
