Abstract

The Hausa dictionary under review is based on the dictionaries both authors have published in the last 40 years ([6]; [7]; [5]), but also on Bargery's monumental publication ([3]) and the BUK monolingual Hausa dictionary ([4]) as well as some other works. Hausa Dictionary for Everyday Use: Hausa - English/ English - Hausa In general, Hausa dictionaries have been and continue to be used almost exclusively by Hausa language scholars and students. The user's guide provides a brief introduction to some of the important grammatical features of the Hausa language and their representation in the dictionary, including information on grammatical gender and plural formation, as well as an overview of the Hausa verbal grade system.
