Kanuri and English are both written in Latin, so the translated output uses characters you already recognise. You can usually read the result aloud without transliteration, though spelling conventions and accented characters still differ.
Kanuri belongs to the Nilo-Saharan family while English belongs to the Indo-European 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.
Kanuri follows subject-object-verb (SOV) order while English follows subject-verb-object (SVO). 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.
Kanuri: Roughly 4 million speakers across Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon. English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers.
