panafrican: Hausa is a Chadic language of the Afro-Asiatic family. Yoruba and Igbo are Volta-Niger languages. The word Niger may likely have come from Tuareg. Niger in Hausa is kwara; in Yoruba it's oya; and in Igbo, it's orimili. You need to do more research, and stop falling for pseudo online theories concocted by people who don't understand the history and cultures of the continent. |

Don't mistake Niger-Congo for Kwa. There are most probably no Kwa languages spoken in Senegal, Mali and Niger. And no, Hausa isn't Kwa. It belongs to the Chadic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family. 1 Like |
