Every language has loan words, Even Latin Greek Arabic and Chinese

If you were to try remove Arabic loanwords from our language you would elminate 30%-40% of Somali. This is something the BLM supporters who call you a "bootyclapper" can't stomach.

 

[Habane]

30% of the Somali language is Arabic and Insha'Allah we shall add even more Arabic words

Swedish and German have the same root they're not loan words.

Arabic to Somali are direct loans due to the Quran and Trade. Semitic and Cushitic languages much more divergent than 2 west Germanic languages.
