This seems to be quite a decent dictionary on Hausa — a language I know almost nothing of. There are some helpful explanations on how to use the dictionary (that is, how to understand the annotations and the script used) in the beginning and a a few useful pages with appendices at the end about pronouns and some particles and affixes. All entries are written with tonal and vowel length marks and are annotated for part of speech (even with verb transitivity, nice!). It seems that also irregular plurals are given. Fits nicely into my dictionary collection as I didn't have anything on Hausa before. Now if I only had it into the other direction as well...
