    The minority languages should be recognized as well -- Chimwiini, Kibajuni, Mushunguli, along with the Somali languages (Northern, Benaadir, Maay).

    I'm confused wallahi; i thought that Af Maay was a brother language of Af Somali. I hear people saying it's a Somali dialect, ii fasir nooh. There is no need of recognizing or in la kala saaro Waqooyi iyo Banaadiri, ku daa uun Standard Somali.

     

    You know better than me about these other Swahili minority languages, laakin aren't these languages dying?

    I said our 'government', yes me and you can communicate in Somali but I want my government to be to deal with a large diaspora and expatriate from the Arab and English speaking world with ease. it makes business sense.

    Could be a good buisness language or reaching out to more like Somalia has always been doing. but it still should'nt be an official language though...

     

    official languages of Somalia: Somali and Af-Maay

    Wadani many Somalis speak Arabic its taught in schools in quranic schools in universities, Arabic is even understood by all Somalis. but only 3 quarters are fluently in Arabic.Thats why Arabic is introduced also as the language of Somalia.

    Lol why are you so zealous over anything Arabic. We all know that the average Somali can't speak Arabic markaas aad ka hadli 3/4 fluent. Arabic for Somali people is wax la barto maaha wax la yaqaan.

    Then logic would dictate these 'Middle Eastern' Somalilanders are not ethnic Somalis.

     

    Brianblaster. Ar we assume nomadic Somalis descend from a common ancestor?

    Haa saaxiib, apart from small paternal communities such as R0a2(parts of Somaliland), T(Guban), K2(Haud)ect. who reach 10% each but are still native east africans. The vast majority of nomadic Somalis share common ancestor paternally E3b1*(E1b1b1a). Now that is ethnic Somali :cool: :D

    Ethnic Somalis are at least one of the most homogenous ethnicities in Africa...

    Not really but if we follow the popular history, historical texts dating back to 600 years ago and DNA

    results of some Somalilanders whose DNA originated from the Middle East then one can't argue

    against it.

    Saalax, the only non Somali gene precentage in ethnic Somalis is T haplogroup and it is not only restricted to Somalilanders it is prominent in Djibouti down to Dire Dawa area and according to genetics T haplogroup migrated into modern day Somali peninsula 2000+ yrs from Mesopotamia and the Fertile crescent and that is way before Islam and Sh ***** isaac.

    Saalax..They speak Somali, eat Somali and live Somali, they are Somali. And what proof do you have to say they came from Mozambique.

     

    If anything, you are less Somali since you claimed to be a descendant of some phantom Arab Sheikh.

     

    Walaalkiis. Faraha xanuuna when Saalax types Somaliaonline to access the site.

    They are Somali Bantu but they are not Ethnic Somali like the nomadic tribes, kala saar Soomaalida. Ayaga laftooda ayaa kuu sheegaya in ay yihiin Somali Bantu. Markaa they are something other than ethnic Somali, saaxib and there is nothing wrong with that.

     

    Bantus are ethnically, physically, and culturally distinct from Somalis, and they have remained marginalized ever since their arrival in Somalia through slavery.

    I guess this thread has derailed into another topic...

    I am sorry to dissapoint you all, but every word you mentioned there has its own Somali original word, including the days of the week, numbers, and everything else you are writing all down there, some people just prefer to use imported words, others don't and preserve the language.

    Very intresting, could you motivate yourself more? examples?
