"Zaar-Hausa-English Code Mixing" by Bernard Caron

"Most Zaar people of the younger generation are bilingual Hausa-Zaar [...] The purpose of this paper is to examine how a minority language that is healthy is used in two different contexts : (A) an urban context, with educated speakers who are fluent in the two main vehicular languages of the area : English and Hausa ; (B) a rural context with speakers who hardly speak a few words of Pidgin English, but are quite fluent in Hausa."
