Bororojo:. A lot of ethnic Fulani can't actually speak their language. Most speak Hausa. Fulfulde is becoming an exotic language. Many who gave up nomadic lifestyle and settled within Hausa communities now have their kids speaking Hausa, also due to intermarrying with Hausa. 4 Likes |

adeitoro:In as much as i hate this but its the truth.I think its the based on the mentality of the people.People born their kids&you see them talking to them in English.i hate it.had a neigbour whose last child who is same age mate with my sis,grew up with her but was struggling with igbo.she started learning it due to the mocking she was receiving. Another is schools(in West&east) who impose strict rules based on the language spoken thereby given in to western slavery 4 Likes 1 Share |

nagoma: Umm no, I'm not wrong about the states, Fulfulde is most spoken in Adamawa (which extends into Cameroon as well), Gombe and Taraba states. It is not spoken at all nearly much in the NorthWest. Adamawaare is the dialect of the Fulani spoken where I am from. 1 Like 1 Share |
