THE GLOBAL AFRICAN COMMUNITY
H I S T O R Y N O T E S
QUEEN AMINA OF HAUSALAND
By DAVID SWEETMAN
Posted by RUNOKO RASHIDI
DEDICATED TO SISTER AMINA LAWAL
"In her time the whole products of the west were brought to Hausaland." --Kano Chronicle
The Hausa men of West Africa are proud and independent, yet their most famous ruler and greatest warrior was a woman, Queen Amina.
She is said to have created the only Hausa empire and to have led into battle a fierce army of horsemen. Indeed, so powerful is the memory of her exploits that songs of her deeds are still sung today.
By the end of the eighth century AD Arab explorers were aware of a great civilization to the south of the Sahara. This was ancient Ghana, situated in an area further west than present-day Ghana. The beginning of ancient Ghana's power roughly coincides with the spread of Islam in North Africa. From that time, over the next 1,500 years, the great states of the western Sudan rose, flourished and fell, each passing on to the next the mantle of power, each state centred a little further east--Ghana, Mali, Songhay, Kanem Bornu, Sokoto. In the midst of these, the seven states that make up Hausaland came into being around AD 1050. Before the separate Hausa states were established, this area of West Africa was ruled by a dynasty of queens--seventeen in all. Later Islamic scholars, using older Arabic stories mixed with local tales, created a legend to explain the sudden development of the Hausa peoples: Shawata, the last of the seventeen queens, offers marriage to any man who will slay Sarki, a monstrous snake that lives in the well of the town of Daura. Abyazidu (also known as Bayajida), a prince of Baghdad, comes to their son Bawo who is held to be the founding father of the original seven Hausa states: Daura, Kano, Zazzau, Gobir, Katsina, Rano and Garun Gabas. They form an area of some 500 square kilometres, the core of Hausaland.
As the populations of these states increased so they grew wealthy and attracted the attention of other powers. Yet the Hausa are a tough people and the only explanation why for much of their history they were under outside domination must lie in the fact that they were split into these seven separate states. Only two Hausa leaders were conquerors and the first of these was a woman, queen Amina of Zazzau who succeeded in extending the boundaries of Hausaland outside its original core.
LEGEND OR TRUTH?
There are many legends about Amina as she is usually known, through her full name was Aminatu. The tales of her exploits have made her one of the most famous African women, second only to Nzinga of Angola. Because much of the early written material about her is contradictory, some historians cautiously believe that she may be just a legend. However, despite the contradictions, she is mentioned in three of the four main sources for the history of the Hausa. The Abuja Chronicle and Infaku'l Maisuri of Sultan Muhammadu Bello both describe her as a daughter of the ruling house but not as a ruler in her own right and the traditional list of Hausa rulers contained in the Labarun Hausawa da Makwabtansu does not mention her at all. This need not surprise us: Muslim chroniclers often left out women rulers or lessened the significance of their actions. But the Kano Chronicle describes her as a ruler who flourished in the early fifteenth century. The majority voice is that she did exist though exactly when is much harder to decide.

Hausa (حَوْسَ)
Hausa is a Chadic language with about 80 million speakers. It is spoken mainly in northern Nigeria and Niger, and also in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, CAR, Chad, Congo, Eritrea, Germany, Ghana, Sudan and Togo.
Since the beginning of the 17th century, Hausa has been written with a version of the Arabic script known as ajami. Most of the early writing in Hausa was Islamic poetry or on Islamic themes. Ajami is still used, mainly to write poetry, but also for at least one newpaper and some books. There is no standard spelling system for Hausa written with the Arabic script so there is some variation in spelling between different writers.
A version of Hausa written with the Latin alphabet and known as boko began to emerge during the 19th century. Until the 1950s ajami and boko were both used, though since then boko has been the main alphabet for most Hausa speakers.

a) Background
Hausa has both a standardized Romanized/Latin orthography called "Boko" and a traditional Arabic orthography known as "Ajami." Until the 1950s ajami and boko were both used, though since then boko has been the main alphabet for most Hausa speakers. (Webbook & Omniglot)
Hausa is a tonal language, but tones are not generally marked (except, for example, in learning materials), and then only in Boko (verify!). There is no standard tone marking system in either orthography.
For more information see:
Hausa Writing (UCLA) http://www.humnet.ucla.edu/humnet/aflang/hausa/Pronunciation/writing.html
Omniglot page http://www.omniglot.com/writing/hausa.htm
b) Boko (Latin)
The Latin-based Boko orthography is based primarily on the Kano dialect and includes several extended characters. It was developed during the period of British colonial rule.
Boko is standardized in Nigeria and Niger and widely seen in publications.
c) Ajami (Arabic)
Hausa Ajami is not formally standardized, although it follows certain conventions.
"Since the beginning of the 17th century, Hausa has been written with a version of the Arabic script known as ajami. Most of the early writing in Hausa was Islamic poetry or on Islamic themes. Ajami is still used, mainly to write poetry, but also for at least one newpaper and some books. There is no standard spelling system for Hausa written with the Arabic script so there is some variation in spelling between different writers." (Omniglot)
