Barikanchi (Barikanci), or Bastard Hausa,[3] is a pidgin of the Hausa language spoken in Nigeria,[4] principally in military barracks.[5] The language developed in the British Army barracks of northern Nigeria in the first part of the 20th century, and was used as a lingua franca among Nigerians of diverse language backgrounds.[6]
