We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject:  what are the rules of reading in Hausa?

Dear Hausa colleagues, could you advise me the rules of reading in
Hausa? How shoud one read the Hausa letter "C"? I guess "SH" is the
sound "sh" like in English "show", is it not? Are there any other
letter combonations as one sound? Can you send me a Hausa text in the
txt format, that is as a simple message like this one? Looking forward
to hearing from you soon to yutamb at hotmail.com Yours sincerely YUri
