Hausa Translation Services
Several decades ago, one might have been forgiven for not having known that the Hausa even existed let alone in which countries it was actually spoken; nowadays all that has changed and in some industries it is becoming vital to have a facility to translate documents to and from Hausa.
The Hausa language is the Chadic language with the greatest usage; it is understood by about 39 million people as either a first or second language. It is the official language in Northern Nigeria but is widely spoken in Ghana, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Togo and Benin…a very wide swathe of Western Africa.
Western Africa is, of course, an important region due to the large volume of international trade and development flourishing there. This trade chiefly stems from the regions’ oil boom of recent years: and not least because Nigeria is a member of OPEC.
Many large companies now find themselves engaging in business in Western Africa and the importance of having documents such as contracts translated into Hausa has grown manyfold; there are, however, certain problems to having Hausa translations carried out.
Hausa has two main types of script when in the written form; Boko, a Latin based script and Ajami, an Arabic based script…here at Lingo 24 we can help you deal with both types of script as and when needed and we have top class native translators to perform the task.
Whatever your field of business in West Africa, and whatever the type of Hausa translation required; whether it be technical, legal, financial or medical Lingo 24 have the best translators to do the best job, to furnish you with the best results.
