Hausa as a second language. These second language speakers of Hausa are generally non- Hausas living in a Hausa area, people who use Hausa as a trade language, or Muslims who use Hausa as a language of Islam. In Northern Nigeria, where the vast majority of Hausa speaker reside, Hausa is the main language used on a day to day basis. English is the administrative language of Nigeria, and there are other smaller language groups that exist there, but Hausa is the main language of communication in the entire northern part of Nigeria. In South Central Niger, where the northern part of Hausaland lies, Hausa
holds a similar status. Here French is the administrative language, and other language groups exist as well, but Hausa is the main language used. Although the Hausa population in Niger is perhaps as little as a quarter of that in Nigeria, it represents over half of the total population of this much less populace country. Hausa is also the largesttrade language in Niger, even in non-Hausa areas, and it is estimated that in total about eighty percent of the population of Niger speaks Hausa as either a native or foreign language.
