Excuse my ignorance, can anyone tell me why Hausa language is considered Afro-asiatic language ? Thank you |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In All Of Africa by Baayanjida(m): 7:49am On Feb 06, 2016 |
curi00:These videos are not about Hausa people, they are about Hausa language. They were posted in reply to an ignorant poster named " alanmwene" who doesn't even know what is Hausa and how it sound. |

Hausa is a Chadic language which is an offshoot of Afro-Asiatic languages family. Chadic branch of Afro-Asiatic has 195 languages or 60% of total of 380 Afro-Asiatic languages are Chadic. The Chadic branch is in fact the oldest and the most diverse of all Afro-Asiatic languages. Remember: Chadic branch of Afro-Asiatic is over 5500 years old, while Hausa is about 2800 ~3000 years old. http://www.languagesgulper.com/eng/Afroasiatic.html curi00: 1 Like

mrMeen: You use Fulani or mixed Fulani to talk about Hausa beauty Why dont you show Hausa alone ? You try so hard to make like Hausa and Fulani are the same, they are not dont try to fool people, that all ! 1 Like |

VomeSchakleton: That's what I was thinking, very ironic using fulani or the mix ones to talk about hausa beauty |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In All Of Africa by Nobody: 12:04pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
curi00: I don't see the irony in that. Besides, how do you know they are mixed or not? Hausa has a very diverse range of ethnicities. And I don't even think he was talking about physical beauty rather than the song and language, please read the whole thread to understand. |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In All Of Africa by curi00: 12:07pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
mrMeen: The clueless one is definitely you. It's not because some are mixed with Fulani and Hausa that Hausa-Fulani is only one identity. Not the same ancestors, not the same history, not the same language, etc... And physically when both of groups are not mixed at all, we clearly see they are not the same. The video's title is "Hausa Beauty", then they should not use Fulani or the mixed ones otherwise is a lie 1 Like |

VomeSchakleton:I'm talking about the video mentionning "Hausa Beauty" The other guy said they are part fulani, part hausa The whole thread is about Hausa language You should read my comments carefully and the guy is clearly talking about physical appareance |

curi00: It's ironic the YouTube user who uploaded the video is a pullo man. Go and tame your brothers before you try to educate others. |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In All Of Africa by Nobody: 12:12pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
curi00: Yeah it's about hausa language, and the song is in Hausa language. What's your point? |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In All Of Africa by Baayanjida(m): 12:12pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
This thread is about languages not Ethnicities, keep your ignorance at base. Hausa are not tribe but ethnicity and mixed with everything around them for over 2500 years. But when it comes to Nigeria, you cannot distinguish Hausa from Fulani . In Agadez or Zinder Niger, you cannot distinguished Hausa from Tuareg, they all mixed to the point you cannot tell who is who unless you are from there or live there . What matter is Hausa culture that overtaken every small culture around it. In Nigeria Hausa cultural than it's ethnicity. Apart Nigerians, the Rest of the world thinks that Boko Haram are Hausa, but in reality, Boko Haram are Kanuri people not Hausa at all, even thought they speak Hausa and use Hausa to promote their hatred they are not Hausa ethnically. African Americans are ethnically related to Africans, but culturally related to Europeans than Africans. Fulani only keep their phonetype when they are nomadic, but once settled in cities, they tend to mix with hosted the population. That's how humans migration works for over 100,000 years. 2 Likes |

Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In All Of Africa by curi00: 12:18pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
Baayanjida:From your point of view, the same can be said for all Africans people, no one is 100% something. Even if people intermix with each others, an identity still exists. 1 Like |

curi00: Lol! No one supports the separation of these two ethnicites like I do but you're going at it like a whiny little girl who is more concerned about appearances than culture.. Why weren't you concerned about your brethren in the video dressing like hausa? They dress speak eat and live like hausas! And we're the ones to blame? Lool! And of course you didn't say one was better than the other because A. Because you can't and B.it would lead to an argument you really don't want to have. |

White Americans don't call themselves British or French or Germans. You get my point? curi00: |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In All Of Africa by Nobody: 12:28pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
curi00: Good. I love my pullo brothers, I love the fula culture and ethnicity and I would never wish that upon them. In fact I have three pure pullo room-mates albeit they only speak hausa, we refer to each other as cousins even though we're not blood related because our families have been close for as long as we can remember |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In All Of Africa by curi00: 12:32pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
VomeSchakleton: Not at all, you clearly have a problem with appearance otherwise you wouldnt care. All I said is the truth, which you clearly dont wanna see. Some Hausa are not assimilated to Fulanis and the same is for Fulanis, they have keep their own culture. And if I wanted to say some people are better than other, I could ! That's my personal opinion. But I haven't said because I think it's silly to think like that. I have no problem arguing as long as I am right and not hurt people !!! 1 Like |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In All Of Africa by curi00: 12:36pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
VomeSchakleton:Of course Hausa and Fulanis can consider themselves as cousins, they are allies. I was not looking for division or something, I just wanted to say that both groups have their own identity. The mixed Hausa and Fulani have both identities 1 Like |

curi00: Oooh but you can't! How about I'm daring you to! And appearance? Lol! I assure you, I'm prettier than you and all your sisters, no offense, but it's a fact. So if there's anyone who's the least bit insecure about appearances you're backing up the wrong tree here. You don't want to start an e-war with me mate, many have started, few had the balls to finish it, none came out the same, thats another fact |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In All Of Africa by Nobody: 12:39pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
curi00: What in the name of the wee man are you saying? No ethnicities can't be cousins, certainly not these two, we have absolutely nothing in common and they can't be allies! Thats stuupid. Those come on a personal or scientific level. |
