Hausa is an African language originating in Niger and northern
Nigeria and spoken widely in West and Central Africa as a lingua
franca. Charles Henry Robinson (1861 1925) was the first student of
the short-lived Hausa Association, formed in 1891 to promote the
study of the Hausa Language and people. The Association sponsored
Robinson to stay in northern Nigeria from 1894 to 1895 to gain more
experience in the language. On his return Robinson published an
anthology of Hausa texts in 1896 and a Hausa grammar in 1897 as
well as this two-volume dictionary in 1899. His efforts contributed
greatly to Western knowledge of the language despite criticisms of
his relatively short experience of Hausa-speaking communities.
Volume 2 is an English Hausa dictionary, intended for those who
wished to speak colloquial Hausa. The version reissued here is the
1925 fourth edition.
