scholes0: Hausa people makes 53% of Niger Republic population. Bazabarmawa, Buzaye, Hillani da Bare'bari etc make the remaining percentage. Only about 20% of Nigeriens are French literate but more than 80% of the population speaks hausa. Mind you in Niger hausa is the language its citizens use as bridge in communication with different tribes other than theirs Nigeria is estimated to be 200million+ , given that northern Nigerian hold 60% of the population it will be right to say their are 120million+ hausa speakers or more in Nigeria alone. 95% Northern Nigeria speaks hausa and their are another 10% hausa speakers from southern Nigeria tribes igbos, Yoruba etc. Hausa serves as the language of trade , Islam and language that united immigrants in many West African countries. Togo, Ghana, Benin, Cameroon, Gabon etc having millions of none hausa speakers. I estimate that to be 20million. Their should be atleast 160milliom hausa speakers across the world. I might be wrong but considering their are 120million Hausa speakers in Nigeria alone 17million hausa speakers in Niger Republic. my estimation isn't that ridiculous. 1 Like |

openasir:^^^^^ ^^^^^ WOW! 150 million! It's very likely that the figure for Hausa speakers is near-absolute! Hausa is also an easy language to understand if you are determined to learn it. A good population census will help to resolve this with a proper biometric database instead of guestimates. Will do more research on the post. |
