Most translation tools route Hausa through English before they reach Yoruba, which is where the meaning goes missing. SemaSoma translates the pair directly and hands back a pronunciation guide with every result.
Phrases that appear in both the Hausa and Yoruba courses, lined up side by side with the English meaning so you can check the match.
Nigeria, Benin, Togo, and a large diaspora in Brazil, Cuba and the US — around 45 million. Writing system: Latin alphabet with tone marks and sub-dot letters (ẹ, ọ, ṣ).

Translations are produced by an AI model, so treat long or legal text as a draft and check it with a speaker. Short everyday sentences — greetings, directions, family talk — are where it is strongest, and the pronunciation guide is written for English readers. Lesson audio is AI pronunciation audio, not a recording of a native speaker.
