Some scholars, especially Diakonoff, have delineated a number of general Afroasiatic structural features which are present in the Chadic family. Most such comparative work has relied heavily on Hausa, but Hausa viewed alone does not always give an accurate picture of deeper Chadic patternsUsing data from Chadic languages in addition to Hausa we find many specific features of the Chadic verbal system correspond closely to those reconstructible for proto-Afroasiatic. Two such features are (1) use of a subject prefix, and (2alterations of verb stems to indicate aspect.

In the paper the authors hope to account for the aspect marking constructions of modern Hausa by providing detailed historical explanations of their origin and development, beginning with morphological forms and syntactic patterns reconstructed for Proto-Hausa. The description accounts for the asymmetry in certain paradigms, the lack of parallelism between affirmative and negative paradigms in certain aspects, and some of the differences between contemporary dialects. The hypotheses about Hausa history are supported by reliable comparative data from other Chadic languages.
