Nigeria: Please What Language Is Similar To Hausa In The North? by Darren95(op): 7:26am On Jul 01, 2023
I was wondering if there are languages in the North that are similar to Hausa language??

Maybe due to culture integration or similar ancestry?

I don't know why you guys think everybody in the North is Hausa

Gwandara is the closest language to Hausa language. Angas is also close to Hausa, since they both belong to the same West Chadic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family. There are many others, but they are all severely endangered, being spoken only by a few thousand people at most.
