Translate your church service into Hausa
Hausa
Hausa is spoken by over 70 million people across Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, and the wider West African Sahel — making it one of the largest languages in Africa. While the Hausa-speaking population is predominantly Muslim, there is a significant and growing Christian minority, particularly in the Middle Belt of Nigeria. Hausa-speaking Christians in diaspora cities attend English-language churches where live Hausa translation opens up the sermon in their heart language.

The Hausa-speaking diaspora
Nigerian diaspora communities in the UK, US, and Europe include believers from Hausa-speaking backgrounds — particularly from Kaduna, Jos, Bauchi, and Plateau states, where Christian and Muslim communities have long coexisted. In cities like London, Manchester, and Houston, Hausa-speaking Christians often attend large Black Majority or Nigerian-specific Pentecostal churches. For these congregants, Hausa translation is a meaningful act of inclusion.
Bible availability in Hausa
The Hausa Bible (Littafi Mai Tsarki) is published by Bible Society of Nigeria and is widely distributed across northern Nigeria and the West African Sahel. Hausa has a strong biblical literacy tradition among its Christian population. Church music and prayer in Hausa are vibrant in Nigerian Middle Belt congregations.
Using Voco for Hausa church translation
Hausa-speaking Christians often attend Nigerian Pentecostal or evangelical churches where English is the primary language. In mixed congregations with diverse West African backgrounds, Hausa translation enables first-generation northern Nigerian members to access the full depth of teaching without relying on neighbours to explain afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Is Hausa available in Voco?
