How do you differentiate a Hausa and a Fulani?

They are different Tribes and different people. That they share some cultural and religous similarities doesn't mean they are the same people. Their Languages are different. Hausas own the Hausa Language. Fulbes (aka Fulanis) own the Fulfulde language (or Fula). Hausas are the BIGGEST tribe in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Fulanis are not.

You didn't answer me nah, how do you differentiate them in group if you see them.


Except a person is from the same blood of Igbo and Yoruba parents, otherwise I can diffrenctiate the two if I see them in group.

Yoruba girls are more I prostitution that's why you see most of them acting useless porns cheesy cheesy.. that's why 90% of yoruba rich men will rather marry Igbo ladies than yoruba girls cause they are very useless and ugly.most of them have bleached their lives away trying to look fair and pretty like Igbo girls cheesy. I heard that when a yoruba man marries an Igbo girl, he will be well respected in yoruba land cheesy. Of recent, afonja girls have started taking their prostitution to the middle east especially their muslims where they are turned into Arab sex slaves and suck dirty arab sucks for a penny cheesy cheesy
igbo man you can keep deceiving yourself. grin grin
Every tribe in Nigeria knows yamleg girls dominate prostituion both in Nigeria and abroad grin grin
Just enter any porn webstite and type igbo, you all see wonders grin grin
Do you know the number of influential igbo man married to Yoruba women? Do you know geofrey onyeama wife is Yoruba? grin grin
And stop making it look like every Yoruba maries an igbo woman.. only about 0.0000001% of Yorubs

The Fulani's speak the hausa language than their own language Fulfude (i don't know if i got the spelling right) while the Hausas adopted and absorbed the Fulani culture .
Most at times they're both called Hausa -Fulani

You might need to do a personal research on that. It's not a BLACK and WHITE contrast. There are many grey areas. It's like White people, to them African Black people look alike and it's hard to differentiate. But for us African Blacks, we can differentiate ourselves easily. And to Black African people, Caucasian White people look the same to us, it's hard to differentiate. But for Caucasians, they can easily differentiate themselves, like Scottish, American, British, Irish, Scandinavian etc.

Same thing applies to this Hausa / Fulani differentiation. Personally, in my opinion, as per physical characteristics, Hausas are generally Bulkier, generally more dark skinned and thick headed. But Fulanis are generally slimmer, more fair / brown skinned and slender headed etc. A Hausa man's face is usually kind of bold and expressive, but a Fulani man's facial appearance is usually kind of soft or tender some how. Hausa noses are typically regular, but Fulani typically is pointed as per African comparison. Also, tribal marks help to distinguish but that system is gradually fading from society totally.

Anyways, that's just my own personal way of identifying them separately from afar. And you have to be aware that these physical characteristics OVERLAP between the 2 Tribes sometimes. But beyond this, the major difference is accent. Hausa accent is different from Fulani accent and if you have gotten familiar with hearing them speak, you should be able to tell them apart.

And hope you know that there's a lot of intertribal marriages between these 2 Tribes in Northern Nigeria and you have many mixed children as a result bearing both resemblances. So there will always be a lot of grey areas.

First 2 = Hausas
Last 2 = Fuldes

Hausa-Fulani term is a POLITICAL CONTRAPTION. But that's my opinion and that's a topic for another day.
