Good.

Why post the Arabic language when almost none of the locals even understand it?

 

[Baraf]

Since, arabic is the official languge does it mean most Somalis speak it?

Many local Somalis can't even read their own Somali language.

More people speak Italian in Somalia than Arabic

Not true. No one speaks italian.

 

[Rooble]

Nah more people speak Arabic but not that much compared to the population.The percentage is very small. Italian language is almost dead in Somalia.

Not true. No one speaks italian.

Many older Somalis speak Italian.

That's bullshidh no one speaks Italian fluently. There are more Arabic speakers but they're mainly returnees from Arabic speaking countries.

Nope i bet 90% can only say a couple of grettings and sayings . They only added it as a official language for the sake of being accepted into the arab league.

Geeljire please look at the image I posted in my thread. They only care if it doesn't cost them anything.

No they don't. I know people associate south somalia to Italy a lot, but most people my parents age and older were educated in English/arabic only a some were educated in italian as well as university was in italian. No one cares about Italian, only those who have a connection to Italy itself still speak Italian.

 

[Figo]

This is great.

What thread? Seriously are they that cheap?

 

[Baraf]

My Aunts and Uncles speak Italian, they even taught their kids Italian before Somali. My Aabo is the only one who speaks Arabic and went to an Arabic school, and later learned English,

They housed the footballer star kids in the embassy but a hotel honestly wouldn't have put a dent in their lunch budget.

Im surprised they didn't change everything to Turkish language. Nonetheless good on them!
