Hausa is spoken by around 34 million native speakers, in addition to another 20 million second-language speakers.
The Hausa language has more first-language speakers than any other language in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Hausa is predominately spoken as a first language in northern Nigeria and southern Niger and has developed into a lingua franca across much of western Africa (Benin, Ghana, Cameroon, etc.), Central Africa (Chad, Central African Republic, Gabon), and northwestern Sudan.
Hausa is used as the language of instruction at the elementary level in schools in northern Nigeria and is available as a course study in northern Nigerian universities.
For purposes of trade, Hausa has expanded to become one of the world’s major languages and amongst the 10 most demanded languages in Africa.
Several high degrees (Masters and PhD) are now offered in Hausa in various universities in the UK, US, and Germany. Hausa is also being used in various social media networks around the world. The BBC, Deutsche Welle, Radio France Internationale, and Voice of America offer Hausa services on their international news websites.
Owing to the geographical differences between the grassland and desert zones, Hausa people differ amongst themselves culturally, let alone the cultural discrepancies between Hausa and any other local people.
