Haatu Posted April 17, 2013 Also, I found out that there's an ancient Somali script that hasn't been deciphered yet. Anyone know anything about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a good question, one that I would assume hasn't been decided. Though I hope so. I think with this "federalism" system there is a greater chance of that. regions will probably end up having a greater say in their educational curriculum. I would guess probably in places where maay is predominant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was reading on wikipedia (under Somali script) that archaeologists found an ancient script that they couldn't decipher that's it. As for the Maay: interesting.

Nice thinking...it makes some sense.. But "Qayrkeedna dhaafi" means "Faceedana dhaafi"....Make her surpass her peers . Qayrkaa is a originally arabic and Somalis use it to mean your peers but the correct somali word is "Facaaga" ... In my region, Old senior Somalis pray to youngsters by saying "Waynaw oo waraabe duq ah dabada jiidjiid"!!!...Guess what it means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
