The Unknown of the Hausa Land

Here we have something that most religious people are unaware of, some words from the Hausa Vocabulary of the land Inà Ara Hausa, from where Shangó brought the Inangarewo. The language of the Hausa people is Afro-Asiatic, from the Chadic group. Around the year 1500 AD, the Hausas used a modified form of Arabic script, known as ajami. They make Nangareo every day as their main breakfast to keep their land fresh.

The Hausa land is a Sahelian people located in the north of Nigeria, and its main trading town is Kano, which had visiting Orishas such as Shangó, Oyá, Azojano, Orunmila, Aggayú, among others.

Here are some examples of Hausa vocabulary to distinguish the difference between the Hausa language and Yoruba, as the Hausa today have their own dialect, the same dialect that we call in Cuba: Arará.
