Hausa focus groups, transcribed properly
Hausa (Harshen Hausa): Boko (Latin) script output with hooked letters (ɓ, ɗ, ƙ) preserved. English and Arabic loans are handled; plan a review pass for tone-dependent ambiguities.
Focus groups in particular: Speaker labels untangle overlapping voices better than session notes ever will. Coded excerpts, participant quotes and themes you can defend.
