Polyglot and bibliophile.

My username Sabon Harshe means 'new language' in Hausa. It is a reference to the great diversity of languages in Nigeria, with some being discovered even in recent years.

I am an administrator at the Dagbani Wikipedia and am also active at the Hausa Wikipedia. Other Wikipedias where I have made major contributions are Ewe, Bambara, Fulfulde, Sango, and Dinka. I have also made some contributions to the Yoruba, Lingala, and Fijian Wikipedias. You can see more at global contributions (CentralAuth) and Wikidata.
