Hausa kingdoms in Sudan

Abstract

Abstract:

The Hausa established seven kingdoms from the ninth century AD to the thirteenth century AD in the region now known as southern Niger and northern Nigeria. They spread widely into Sudan. Consequently, the Hausa in Sudan became one of the largest tribes in Sudan, Chad, and other regions in the north and south, influencing their customs and traditions. Large groups of Hausa left their homeland for trade, spreading the Islamic call, and performing the Hajj pilgrimage. Consequently, the Hausa spread widely. The Hausa language is the mother tongue of these tribes and is written in the Arabic alphabet. The Hausa are skilled farmers and hunters, making them the spearhead of all vital projects in Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Sudan, where cotton, wheat, and other crops are grown
