  • "A Look At: Hausa" -- Hausa is the most spoken language in West Africa, with two ways to write it, and with an interesting way to say "Good morning."

    Amharic speakers also ask ‘how did you spend the night?’ as a morning greeting.

      laazforlaaz, thanks for watching! And interesting point about Amharic -- I see that Amharic also does "How did you spend the morning?" for the afternoon greeting. After seeing your comment, I went around looking to see if any other languages, esp. in Africa, do this as well. It seems that Tumbuka and Ndebele both do, but Xhosa and Zulu -- which are almost the same language as Ndebele -- instead say Good Morning (They do "Molweni ekuseni" and "Sawubona," respectively, from I could see). Meanwhile, the morning greeting in the Igbo language, at least according to Omniglot, is "Ị̀ bọọla chi" meaning "How did you wake?" (though have been told Igbo has several very different dialects).

      Is the عجمي script still used in hausa ?
      and if yes where?

      ​@@AnasDaif Thanks for watching! I know that Ajami is definitely still in use among Hausa speakers, though Boko is far more common. I've read that Ajami tends to show up in literary contexts, or in material related to Islam. My understanding is that Hausa is one of the few remaining African languages where the use of Ajami is pretty widespread -- I mean, I've seen online that some people do still use it to write Swahili, for example, but nowadays it seems to be pretty uncommon outside of Hausa.
