Direction
Left to right

Hausa (Hausa) review centers on this evidence: review long vowels and tone through context, glottal-letter spellings, names, and Arabic or English borrowings after choosing a script. For underspecified ha, CLDR supplies Latn (Latin script) as a likely/default web-locale hint—not an audio attribute or exclusive Hausa orthography. Hausa projects can use Boko Latin or Ajami Arabic script. Orthographic targets include diacritics, word boundaries, proper names, number expressions, and code-switched terms. Project decision: whether Boko Latin or Ajami Arabic-script Hausa is the project standard. Before batch editing ha, a reviewer must record whether Boko Latin or Ajami Arabic-script Hausa is the project standard and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.
