Saxib, I don't like Arabs that much either besides a few. Show me where in this thread I praised them or anything, I just pointed out a few things.

Notice how it's the bantus who are claiming our shit and are causing this rage.

LMAO
still that doesn’t mean they’re worse than arabs. This is a new phenomenon.
Alshabaab or stolen clothes?
:damnmusic::pachah1:
 
The problem with Somalis is they think a little cheap maro that’s worn all across Africa belongs to them. :mjlol: Almost every country in Asia/MiddleEast/Africa has a version of the baati/Dirac. Who are you for them to steal from? People are nomadic peoples. Fancy diracs we’re created by going to Indian textile stores and using their materials. Prior to that our diracs were plain and looked like every other piece of fabric I’m Africa

Why did this plain cloth end up trendy? Why don’t you call other African clothes plain or boring.

Ethiopians literally wear a plain white dress with shawl. Yet because it’s how they rock it it’s distinct to them.

There’s a reason why uunsi is associated with arabs and not from where if originated from (SOMALIA) because people claim our things at a constant. It’s why Somali people now say they have no culture.

@Farahslayer is pressed lmao

Is she mad that SYL prevented us from speaking Arabic or that Arabic was ever a relevant language in Somalia.


:patrice: Hmm... idk sus still. Moving hella oppish.
 
Gorgorad is an obvious loanword since it ends in -ad. Almost all Somali words that end in -ad are loan words from Arabic. I have yet to find an exception.

Just because something is a loan word does not really play apart in the origin of the garment. Years after year the Somali language is getting increasingly arabized. Where we once used a Somali word for an item of food or clothing the Arabic version is replaced.

Macawiis, is the Arabic version but it Was replaced from xoos guunti.

Anjera (an African word clearly this dish was our version of the Ethiopian one) is replaced with the Yemeni laxoox.

Bun, a word only used occasionally now for the beans in Somali but now replaced with the Yemeni qawah. Bear in mind all Ethiopians use bun/bunna and that’s where coffee originated and that’s how we previously called coffee

There are literally hundreds of words we replaced from Cushitic origins to Yemeni Arabic even though Somalis interacted/discovered this items beforeYemenis.
