Fulani uses Arabic while Kanuri uses Latin. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it. Fulani reads right-to-left while Kanuri reads left-to-right, so the direction of the text flips during translation.
Fulani belongs to the Niger-Congo family while Kanuri belongs to the Nilo-Saharan family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones.
Fulani follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Kanuri follows subject-object-verb (SOV). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Splitting long sentences improves accuracy.
Fulani: Approximately 25 million speakers across various dialects and regions. Kanuri: Roughly 4 million speakers across Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon.
