- 1. What is the change that you are trying to bring about and why is this important.
There are many Hausa words that change their meaning due to Hooked letters differences. The words will be the same in writing but due to the Hooked letters, the meaning will change and so will the pronunciation. In the inventory of Hausa written system some consonants are not found in English. Most common of these are the hooked letters, ɓ, ɗ, ƙ and the semi vowel `y, which are entirely different from the corresponding plain letters b, d, k and y. In standard Hausa writing system it is necessary to use the hooked letters and it's been used in every Hausa Dictionary because not using it makes some words change their meaning entirely. So it's very important to use this writing system in Hausa Wiktionary most especially for Non-native Hausa to be able to learn easily and it'll help learners to learn without being confuse,one word will not turn into another and the learners will understand the meaning of a word perfectly.This will bring a lot of improvement in Hausa Wiktionary through the availability of Standard words and attracting of more contributors.
