ハウサ語
Zongo settlements are areas in West African towns populated mostly by settlers from Northern Sahel areas especially from Northern Nigeria. A common feature of the Zongo community is their predominant use of Hausa language as their lingua franca. "Zango" which is wrongly spelt as "Zongo" itself as a word is derived from the Hausa language which literally means "a settlement of Hausa speaking traders".
