Dictionary of the Hausa Language (1st) - Gyan Books

About The Book: Charles Henry Robinson’s *Dictionary of the Hausa Language* is a foundational two‑volume Hausa reference. Volume 1 (Hausa–English) offers a comprehensive lexical compendium—expanded and revised in the fourth edition—to translate and interpret Hausa vocabulary for English readers. Volume 2 (English–Hausa) reverses the direction, facilitating colloquial Hausa expression for English speakers aiming to learn or use the language conversationally. Compiled after Robinson’s field experience in northern Nigeria (1894–95), the dictionary significantly advanced Western understanding of Hausa linguistics despite critiques of his limited immersion.
