Educated Greeks who only know modern Greek can still read the ancient texts. That's pretty cool.

Arabs can also do that with the Quran.

Wonder what Somali would have been like in the 700s CE.

Borans fought to join Somalia during the time of independence. Some non-muslim Boran betrayed us tho. They're venerated as national heroes in Kenya. Some main streets in central Nairobi are named after them.
