Revisiting the Term 'Hausa' in the 21st Century:
Society; Language; Wisdom; Motherland; Studies
Abstract:
The research reported in this article is a review about the 'Hausa' term as it is employed over centuries by the Hausa natives to represent their homeland, language and the wisdom attributed to the usage of the language. However, a number of varied narrations have been put forward by scholars at different occasions in an endeavor to account for the origin of the term as well as early inhabitants of the present day Hausaland but never reach consensus due to lack of documented evidence. As an alternative to revisiting the history of the word, this paper focuses on the meaning of the term 'Hausa' as it is continually used in modern-days within the outline of Ibrahim (1978) & Vavura (2008), as they described it as a word which entails the Hausaland, people and their language. Additionally, the research elaborated that the term can be used to refers to the Hausa society, their language as a means of communication, the wisdom manifested in their language, their motherland and a field of studying the linguistic system, literature and cultural aspects of the people commonly found in Northern Nigeria, Niger and the diaspora.

Revisiting the Term 'Hausa' in the 21st Century:
Society; Language; Wisdom; Motherland; Studies
Abstract:
The research reported in this article is a review about the 'Hausa' term as it is employed over centuries by the Hausa natives to represent their homeland, language and the wisdom attributed to the usage of the language. However, a number of varied narrations have been put forward by scholars at different occasions in an endeavor to account for the origin of the term as well as early inhabitants of the present day Hausaland but never reach consensus due to lack of documented evidence. As an alternative to revisiting the history of the word, this paper focuses on the meaning of the term 'Hausa' as it is continually used in modern-days within the outline of Ibrahim (1978) & Vavura (2008), as they described it as a word which entails the Hausaland, people and their language. Additionally, the research elaborated that the term can be used to refers to the Hausa society, their language as a means of communication, the wisdom manifested in their language, their motherland and a field of studying the linguistic system, literature and cultural aspects of the people commonly found in Northern Nigeria, Niger and the diaspora.
