Detailed List Of Hausa Dialects And Places Spoken. by Nowenuse: 1:05pm On May 13, 2015 |
1) Katsinanci- spoken by natives of Katsina town/emirate (western/central parts of Katsina state) into Central parts of Zamfara state. 2) Dauranci - spoken by natives of Daura town/emirate (northeastern/eastern parts of Katsina state) 3) Gudduranci (Katagumci) - spoken by natives of Northern Bauchi zone (Katagum, Jama'are, Misau emirates) 4) Kananci - Kano state dialect, also native to south/western parts of Jigawa state. It is the most widely understood and spoken hausa dialect which serves as a central dialect, generally accepted as the official hausa dialect and lingua franca of all hausa native speakers and some 2nd language hausa (non-native) speakers. 5) Zazzaganci - spoken by natives of Zaria town/emirate (northern half of Kaduna state). This is the 2nd most widely spoken of the hausa dialects (very similar to Kano central dialect). It is the most spoken 2nd language hausa dialect in Nigeria as most of the non-native hausa speakers from the middlebelt & parts of the north-east speak it as a lingua franca. 6) Gobiranci/Arewanci - Spoken by natives of Gobir town/emirate (northern parts of Sokoto state) also along the boundary into Niger republic. It is the most similar hausa dialect to the hausa dialects of Niger republic. 7) Sakkwatanci - Central/major dialect of Sokoto. Spoken by natives of Sokoto town, much of central & Southern Sokoto, western parts of Zamfara state and hausa natives of Kebbi state (Kebbi north). It is the hausa dialect with the largest population of native speakers as much of Kano & Zaria speakers are non-natives to the dialect/subgroup. ![]() Spoken by natives of Hadejia town and much of Eastern Jigawa state 9) Bausanchi - Spoken by hausas in Bauchi town (southern Bauchi) and most hausanized minority groups of Bauchi south area 10) Khurwayanci, Damagaranci & Aderanci. - Hausa dialects mostly spoken by hausa speakers in Niger republic in Tillaberi, Tahoua, Dosso, Maradi, Agadez and Zinder regions with some immigrant speakers in Nigeria and extreme northern boundary hausa towns in Nigeria that share some boundary with Niger republic. 11) Ganaanci - Spoken by native & non native hausa speakers in Ghana, Togo, Mali e.t.c It must be noted that Hausa language has over the centuries become a widely used trade language in northern Nigeria and parts of the Middlebelt region of Nigeria, Niger republic, northern Ghana e.t.c and by so have developed many 2nd language speakers. In Nigeria, hausa 2nd language/non-native/trade language speakers are found in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Plateau, Niger, Nasarawa, Taraba, Gombe, FCT, Southern half of Kaduna state, Southern 2/3 of Bauchi state and Southern 1/3 of Kebbi state. The people of these places are not native hausa speakers and may be sometimes confused for native hausas by Southern Nigerians. However some of these northern minority groups are fastly loosing their own individual languages to hausas and this is strongly evident in Southern Bauchi areas, Northern Niger state e.t.c The hausa dialect spoken by these millions of 2nd language hausa speakers is more of the Zaria dialect (Zazzaganci) & Kano dialect (Kananci). Infact, the 2nd language hausa speakers in Nigeria (northern minorities) clearly outnumber the native hausa speakers. This makes hausa the most spoken language in Nigeria. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

wow, great and delailed list. I lived with my Uncle in Hadejia (Jiagawa) in the past and later did my youth service in Sokoto. I noticed the great difference in d hausa dialects spoken in both towns even though i could only understand little of what they were saying Sokoto dialect seems like the hardest dialect of hausa language. 6 Likes 1 Share |

faveniska: Yes u are quite correct. I myself am a 2nd language hausa speaker, i find it to understand n speak Zaria, Kano, Bauchi, Jigawa and most of the eastern hausa dialects but switching to Sokoto, Gobir or any other eastern hausa dialects is entirely something else. Sokoto is not even the worst, i think Gobiranchi is one of the deepest hausa dialects in Nigeria, if they speak i can hardly understand most of what they say 2 Likes |

Nowenuse: Nice work @ OP Very informative thread, The last thread on hausa dialects here was not an informative list and typically lacks validity and truthfulness. The mods should try to move this thread to FP cos i observed that most southernerns cannot differentiate properly between 1st language hausa speakers and 2nd language hausa speakers. 2 Likes |

So I hope people that don't know the north and just categorize all northerners to be hausa can read this write up carefully. The real hausa states are not that much. The likes of benue, taraba, nassarawa, pleatue, Niger, borno and others are not indigenous hausa,infact these states has a lot of Christians and non-hausas than you can imagine. 4 Likes |
