Book excerpt: This dictionary contains approximately 8,500 Computer and Internet terms in English and Hausa. You will find that many of the terms are the same in both languages (cognates) as many of the more recent terms have been assimilated into Hausa from English. This dictionary is derived from our Words R Us system, a derivative of WordNet. English Wordnet, originally created by Princeton University is a lexical database for the English language. It groups words in English into sets of synonyms called synsets, provides brief definitions and usage examples, and records a series of relationships between these sets of synonyms. WordNet can be viewed as both a combination of dictionary and thesaurus. Some of the terms incorporated in this dictionary are excerpted from the Microsoft Glossary of Computer Terms in Hausa. This dictionary will be indispensable for any international company doing business in North Central Africa where Hausa is a major language of business and trade. We also publish a companion volume with definitions of the terms in English. Check our website for availability.
