Chadic language belonging to the hamito-semitic famaly, hawsa language is spoken in the north of nigeria, in the middlewest of niger and in certain areas of west africa by approximatively fourty millions native speakers. The objective of this study is to describe the specific methods of creation and integration of new lexical items created or borrowed to denote new concepts and new notions in hawsa. Built up from french writing documents translated into hawsa, our corpus is made of two thousand two hundred and twenty four lexical entries, including four hundred and ninety one lexical borrowings classified as follow : arabe : one hundred and seventy seven ; english : hundred and french two hundred and seventy four loan-words. Other entries come from hawsa itself. We present two bilingual lexicons hawsa french and french hawsa in latin alphabetic order. The socio-economic, culturel and political development of african countries in general and of niger in particular, should go through the real promotion of its languages. The terminological research must be the figurehead of such a promotion because it will favour the enrichment of the language and the denomination of certain technic and scientific notions or concepts.
