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
When you say "I'm prettier than you" without seeing me is very smart !!! Anyway good on you I really dont care
The one who starts something is you, stop being obsess just because I said some people look Fulani on a video. You go crazy alone.
I'm not the kind of people who say this group look better than them as there is beautiful and less beautiful people in every group.

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.

I'm sorry but haven't you say that :

"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 "

What a contradiction !!!!!!!

smiley I mst say i like it,like you said Hausa have thiers while Fulani have thiers in another countries,Even In Arewa Hausa Have are Hausawa Fulani are Fulani and anybody who calls him selves Hausafulani he is wat he claim..... Many people have call me Hausasmiley somes call me Fulani somes says im Hausfulani....you kNw, my answer is always Yes I am, Dont have problem with that. What ever u call me among those i will never object....
Another thing you will never knw is what It is like to be a northern Nigeria and how united they are.
Also any Fulani group or Hausa in any country other than Nigeria is love by Nigerian Hausafulanismiley and are in MINORITY TO HAUSA OR FULANI OF NIGERIA IN PUPOLATION...

THE MAJORITY PEOPLE OF HAUSA AND FULANI IN AFRICA ARE IN NIGERIA AND we THE MAJORITY CONSIDER OURSELVES ONE(Fulani) Kai HausanE kO kai BafulataninE indai kai Dan Arewa nE kana KallOn kanka amatsayin HAUSAFULANI. IMMA POLITICALLY KO CULTURALY KO KAI DAMA RUWA BIYU NE uwayENka inter-marriage sukayi.

Many Hausa and Fulani from Niger republic think of Nigeria as thier second Home and that is true..now that i write this up thier are millions of Niger republic Hausa and Fulani that reside in Nigeria illegally and our People,Government know them and we the peple can tell if they are Nigerian Hausa,Fulani or noT..

But becux we consider them ours we never borther them,our get then out of Arewa cuz originally they are part of it,though sometimes they are mock for they are from Niger and thier Hausa is not that fluent.

HausaFulani dint ask any Hausa or Fulani of any country to think One.cuz maybe even if they try it wnt go successful as here In Nigeria...kai we prefer u shud stay ur hausa or Fulanicheesy..
Unity do magic for us Hausafulani of Nigeria and even we too... We Never plan to think one..is Allah that choose to make us ONE. So dnt worry brother u are still part of us and when ever we sO any One of Hausa or Fulani wherever they are we called them OURS.

Dont put Allah here, if He wanted to make you one, you would have the same ancestors, that's not the case, end of it !
I'm part fulani but not hausa.
If you are both Fulani and Hausa, there is no problem. All I was saying, both of groups have their own identity, no matter how close they are in Nigeria.
All Fulanis are one wherever they are in Africa and in the world(look "Zone fulbe"on Facebook), they have the same ancestors, same history, same language, etc...
You can say everything you want Hausa-Fulani is 2 identities not one. I'm not questionning their close relationship in Nigeria, people are better united.

gbogboti:
Swahili is most widely spoken African language. Swahili is spoken in these countries: Tanzania 99%, Kenya 87%, Uganda 85%, Burundi 55%, Democratic Republic of the Congo 48%, Rwanda 28%, Swahili is also spoken in southern Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan and northern Mozambique and the Comoros Islands. It has more than 11 million native speakers (speak Swahili as first language) and more than 120 million secondary speakers. That makes Swahili the largest African language.

Arabic is widely spoken in many African countries, but it is naturally not counted as one of African languages even though there's arabic-africans lives in Africa; it is because most of native African countries has a low percentage of Arabic speakers.

Since almost every African country was at one time a colony, speaking English, Portuguese, or French will also help you communicate. Many Africans will speak Creole or pidgin versions of these European languages and they may not be so easy to understand when you first hear them.

1) Arabic
2) Kiswahili
3) Hausa
4) English
5) Amharic
6) French
7) Oromo
cool Yoruba
9) Igbo
10) Zulu
Source(s): http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/9546 (<click to see the top 50)

If your language is spoken only by your ethnic group that language should not be included in this list.

To qulify the language must be a lingua franca across multpile ethnicities.

Now, redo this list please.
