*The relevance of hausa as a language in international Media*

Hausa language one of the fastest growing languages in the world, is understood by many speakers in many African Nations ,the language is a pride to the hausa people and a gift to them by God,
its ease of comprehension, the acceptability and peace loving nature of the hausa people makes it easy for the language to grow and include more spreakers of non hausa origin.

The pride of the hausa people in their language makes it easier for them to speak the language anywhere they find themselves anywhere they go, even if they understand other languages,
the joy in teaching their children the hausa language cannot be overemphasized that the language survives within several hausa communities in the diaspora (US,UK, Canada etc)

in recent data Hausa is the largest language in Africa if we exclude Arabic , surpassing Swahili who held the position for a long time according to _(spectator index surveys_ )
And it's the 11th spoken language in the world by native and non native speakers.

For that the use of the language by international media is of paramount importance to the continent of Africa as a whole.

We have several international Media broadcasting in Hausa language operating on a global scale these includes

1. BBC - London, United Kingdom(1957)
2. RFI - Paris (2007)
