Robinson Hausa–English Lexicon (1914)
20,628 English→Hausa word/phrase pairs, parsed from Charles Henry Robinson's Dictionary of the Hausa Language, Volume II (English–Hausa), 3rd edition, Cambridge University Press, 1914.
This is the English→Hausa training lexicon behind Murya — a Hausa-first voice assistant — used for translation fine-tuning, lexical retrieval, and Hausa embedding warm-start. Released as its own dataset so it's citable and reusable independent of the Murya project.

Format
JSON Lines, one entry per line:
{"source_en": "abandon", "target_ha": "hari", "context": "tr. v. hari, har.", "provenance": "robinson_1914_vol2"}
source_en— English headword or phrasetarget_ha— Hausa translationcontext— original dictionary gloss (part of speech, usage note, or surrounding entry text), useful for disambiguationprovenance— fixed source tag,robinson_1914_vol2
Multiple Hausa senses for one English headword appear as separate rows (e.g. "abandon" → "hari" and "abandon" → "har" both present).
Known limitations
- Early-1900s missionary-lexicography orthography and spelling conventions predate modern standard Hausa orthography (no ɓ/ɗ/ƙ hooked-consonant distinction as written today, tone unmarked). Treat as a semantic/lexical resource, not an orthography reference.
- Parsed via OCR + heuristic entry-splitting from the Archive.org text layer; not manually proofread against the original scan entry-by-entry.
- English→Hausa direction only (Robinson's Vol. II). No reverse (Hausa→English) direction in this file.
