Terminology: Somali vs Somalian

[DRACO]

Ok i have been thinking about this for a while

I believe the term 'Somalian' should be used to describe a Somali from Somalia

And a Somali should mean all Somalis from = Somalia, Somaliland, Djibouti, Ogaden and Kenya NFD

Why do you get so triggered by being called a Somalian? .

 

[Bidaar Wanagsan]

Sounds too much like Nigerian, Liberian, Trinidadian. Countries that end in -ian don't prosper.

You can estimate the IQ of a foreigner by whether they use Somali or Somalian. Generally the ones who say Somalian are dumber.

True

Yes, Somali for ethnicity and Somalian for nationality.
So that we dont have too hear,"..but but he's not really Somali..", for those who aren't ethnically but are by nationality.
Most of the ppl getting offended are sheep, just feeling fake offended by the term since everyone else is.
Sweden has differentiated by referring between their ethnic group Swedes and Swedish citizens

Anyone can be Somalian but not everyone can be Somali

It sounds so ugly though. Somalian sounds like a type of Alien.

“Greetings earthlings, we are Somalians” ugh

Lol, Swedes say Somalien instead of Somalia. Sounds weird af.

 

[Zailah]

I hate the word ‘Somalian’ and it doesn’t exist. Don’t try and make it exist.

Somali= ethnicity, nationality and language. C'mon man.

And sorry to hurt your feelings but "somalilanders" are also somalians until further notice.

 

[DeadStar]

I call myself Somalian just to trigger other “Say Wallahi” Somalians.

No we dont have somali nationality , its like saying a palestinian in his home land calling it israel and saying they are israeli.

[NA9]

Some Somalis get offended like Somalian is a racial slur. Who cares?

Real talk. Somalian is the logical name.

Passports. Somaliland currently issues its own passports. It is recognized by nine countries, namely South Africa, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Belgium, United Kingdom,France, South Sudan, and Kenya. and saudi arabia.
